Quatrain 90 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

می خور که ز دل کثرت و قلت ببرد

و اندیشه هفتاد و دو ملت ببرد

پرهیز مکن ز کیمیایی که از او

یک جرعه خوری هزار علت ببرد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Drink wine, for it will take away from the heart both excess and deficiency,
And it will dispel the thoughts of seventy-two nations.

Do not abstain from this elixir, for one sip of it
Will take away a thousand worries.

Quatrain 89 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گویند هر آن کسان که با پرهیزند

زآن‌سان که بمیرند چنان برخیزند

ما با می و معشوقه از آنیم مدام

باشد که به حشرمان چنان انگیزند

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

They say those who live in piety,
Will rise on the Day of Judgment as they died.

We, however, are constantly with wine and a beloved,
Perhaps on the Day of Resurrection, we will be raised in the same state.

Quatrain 88 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

گویند بهشت و حور و کوثر باشد

جوی می و شیر و شهد و شکر باشد

پر کن قدح باده و بر دستم نه

نقدی ز هزار نسیه خوش‌تر باشد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

They say there will be paradise, houris, and the river of life,
Streams of wine, milk, honey, and sugar will flow.

Fill up the cup of wine and place it in my hand,
For a cash payment is better than …

Quatrain 87 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گویند بهشت و حورعین خواهد بود

آنجا می و شیر و انگبین خواهد بود

گر ما می و معشوق گزیدیم چه باک

چون عاقبت کار چنین خواهد بود

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

They say there will be paradise and houris there,
There will be wine, milk, and honey there.

If we have chosen wine and a beloved, what do we care,
Since in the end, things will be like this.

Quatrain 86 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گر یک نفست ز زندگانی گذرد

مگذار که جز به شادمانی گذرد

هشدار که سرمایهٔ سودای جهان

عمر است چنان کش گذرانی گذرد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

If even a single breath passes from your life,
Do not let it pass except in joy.

Beware, for the capital of the world's desires
Is life, which passes as though it were spent in vain.

Quatrain 85 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گردون ز زمین هیچ گلی برنارد

کش نشکند و هم به زمین نسپارد

گر ابر چو آب، خاک را بردارد

تا حشر همه خون عزیزان بارد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

The heavens pluck no flower from the earth,
Which they do not break and to the earth return.

If the clouds, like water, take the earth away,
Until the Day of Judgment, the blood of loved ones will rain.

Quatrain 84 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

گرچه غم و رنج من درازی دارد

عیش و طرب تو سرفرازی دارد

بر هر دو مکن تکیه که دوران فلک

در پرده هزار گونه بازی دارد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Though my sorrow and pain may be long,
Your joy and pleasure may be high,

Rely not on either, for the wheel of fortune
Has a thousand different tricks up its sleeve.

Quatrain 83 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

کم کن طمع از جهان و می‌زی خرسند

از نیک و بد زمانه بگسل پیوند

می در کف و زلف دلبری گیر که زود

هم بگذرد و نمانَد این روزی چند

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

English Translation:

Diminish your desires from the world and live happily,
Break free from the chains of fortune's good and bad.

Take wine in hand and the locks of your beloved,
For soon this few days will pass and not remain.

Quatrain 82 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

کس مشکل اسرار اجل را نگشاد

کس یک قدم از دایره بیرون ننهاد

من می‌نگرم ز مبتدی تا استاد

عجز است به دست هرکه از مادر زاد

The imagery of the circle of life, the mysteries of death, and the universal experience of helplessness contribute to the poem's depth and complexity.

Quatrain 81 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

By @hamed

عمرت تا کی به خودپرستی گذرد

یا در پی نیستی و هستی گذرد

می نوش که عمری که اجل در پی اوست

آن به که به خواب یا به مستی گذرد

Description:

A Beautiful Rubai by Omar Khayyam

Translation:

How long will your life pass in self-absorption,
Or chasing the non-existent and the existent?

Drink wine, for your life, which death follows,
Is better spent in sleep or in intoxication.

زآن پیش که بر سرت شبیخون آرند

فرمای که تا بادهٔ گلگون آرند

تو زر نه‌ای ای غافل نادان که تو را

در خاک نهند و باز بیرون آرند
