This quatrain by Omar Khayyam says:

“If you don’t drink wine, don’t mock the ones who do,
And don’t build your life on tricks and deceit.
Don’t be proud that you abstain from wine,
For you feast on a hundred things, of which wine is but a slave.”

گر می نخوری طعنه مزن مستان را

بنیاد مکن تو حیله و دستان را

تو غره بدان مشو که می می‌نخوری

صد لقمه خوری که می غلام است آن را

In this quatrain, Khayyam challenges hypocrisy, especially the kind hidden behind moral pride.
He speaks to those who judge the “drunkards,” the lovers of life, thinking themselves pure because they abstain.

But Khayyam, with his sharp wit, unmasks the illusion:
True sin is not in the wine, but in arrogance, deceit, and false virtue.
He reminds us that those who boast of abstaining may still be enslaved by desires far worse, greed, pride, and self-righteousness.

For Khayyam, the real wisdom is humility, to live honestly, without masks.
It’s not about whether one drinks or abstains, but whether one lives truthfully, without hypocrisy.

He tells us:
Don’t judge others for how they seek joy.
Instead, look within, for what truly intoxicates your soul.
