Quatrain 165

Quatrain 165 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

If on hope's branch I found some fruit to hold

My life's thread would find its end foretold

بر شاخ امید اگر بری یافتمی

هم رشته خویش را سری یافتمی

How long in being's prison must I stay?

Would I could find a door to void's threshold

تا چند ز تنگنای زندان وجود

ای کاش سوی عدم دری یافتمی
