Quatrain 139

Quatrain 139 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Since human's lot in this salt-desert's space

Is naught but grief until life's end we face

چون حاصل آدمی در این شورستان

جز خوردن غصه نیست تا کندن جان

Happy the heart that quickly left this sphere

And peaceful those who never joined this race

خرم دل آنکه زین جهان زود برفت

و آسوده کسی که خود نیامد به جهان
