مرغی دیدم نشسته بر باره طوس

در پیش نهاده کله کیکاووس

با کله همی‌گفت که افسوس افسوس

کو بانگ جرس‌ها و کجا ناله کوس‌‌؟

وقت سحر است خیز ای مایه ناز

نرمک نرمک باده خور و چنگ نواز

کانها که بجایند نپایند بسی

و آنها که شدند کس نمی‌آید باز

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Arise, O source of my delight, at dawn's soft hour,
Gently sip your wine and strum the lute.

For those who have remained have not remained for long,
And those who have gone, none will return.

ای پیر خردمند پگه‌تر برخیز

و آن کودک خاکبیز را بنگر تیز

پندش ده گو که نرم نرمک می‌بیز

مغز سر کیقباد و چشم پرویز

A Note on this Rubai

English Translation:

Arise, O aged sage, with wisdom deep,
And gaze upon the child who tends the earth.

Advise him, say that time so softly creeps,
It grinds to dust the mighty of the earth.

از جملهٔ رفتگان این راه دراز

بازآمده کیست تا به ما گوید راز؟!

پس بر سر این دو راههٔ آز و نیاز

تا هیچ نمانی که نمی‌آیی باز

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Of all those who have traveled this long road,
Who has returned to tell us the secret?

So at this crossroads of desire and need,
Let nothing remain of you that will not return.

وقت سحر است خیز ای طرفه پسر

پر بادهٔ لعل کن بلورین ساغر

کاین یکدم عاریت در این کنج فنا

بسیار بجویی و نیابی دیگر

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

It is the time of dawn, arise, O wondrous youth,
Fill the crystal goblet with ruby-red wine,

For this moment, loaned to us in this corner of oblivion,
You will seek it much, but find it no more.

Quatrain 109 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گر باده خوری تو با خردمندان خور

یا با صنمی لاله رخی خندان خور

بسیار مخور ورد مکن فاش مساز

اندک خور و گه گاه خور و پنهان خور

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

If you drink wine, drink it with the wise,
Or with a beauty with a rosy cheek and a laughing face.

Don't drink too much, don't make it a habit, don't reveal it.
Drink little, drink occasionally, and drink in secret.

Quatrain 108 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

ز آن می که حیات جاودانیست بخور

سرمایه لذت جوانی است بخور

سوزنده چو آتش است لیکن غم را

سازنده چو آب زندگانی است بخور

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Drink of that wine which is eternal life,
The capital of the pleasures of youth,

Though it burns like fire, yet it extinguishes sorrow,
It is the builder, like the water of life.

دی کوزه‌گری بدیدم اندر بازار

بر پاره گلی لگد همی زد بسیار

و آن گل بزبان حال با او می‌گفت

من همچو تو بوده‌ام مرا نیکودار

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Yesterday, I saw a potter in the market
Kicking a piece of broken pottery repeatedly

And that flower, speaking in its own way, said to him:
"I was once like you, adorned with beauty."

در دایرهٔ سپهرِ ناپیدا غور

جامی‌ست که جمله را چشانند به دور

نوبت چو به دورِ تو رسد آه مکن

می نوش به خوشدلی که دور است نه جور

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Within the unseen sphere of the heavens, there is a cup,
Which all are made to taste in turn.

When your turn comes, do not sigh,
Drink your wine with joy, for it is a blessing, not an injustice.

خشت سر خم ز ملکت جم خوشتر

بوی قدح از غذای مریم خوشتر

آه سحری ز سینهٔ خماری

از نالهٔ بوسعید و ادهم خوشتر

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

A brick on the neck of a wine jar is more pleasant than Jamshid's kingdom,
The scent of a wine cup is sweeter than Mary's food,

A morning sigh from a hungover soul
Is more pleasant than the lamentations of …

این اهل قبور خاک گشتند و غبار

هر ذره ز هر ذره گرفتند کنار

آه این چه شراب است که تا روز شمار

بیخود شده و بی‌خبرند از همه کار

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

These people of the graves have turned to dust and ashes,
Each particle has joined with every other particle.

Alas, what a wine this is that until the Day of Judgment,
They have become oblivious and unaware of everything.

ای دل همه اسباب جهان خواسته گیر

باغ طربت به سبزه آراسته گیر

و‌آنگاه بر آن سبزه شبی چون شبنم

بنشسته و بامداد برخاسته گیر

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

O heart, seek all the pleasures of the world,
Adorn your garden of delight with greenery,

And then, like a dewdrop on that grass,
Sit there at night and rise at dawn.
