Quatrain 174

Quatrain 174 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

If coming here had been my choice to make

When would I choose departure's path to take?

گر آمدنم به خود بُدی، نآمدمی

ور نیز شدن به من بُدی، کی شدمی

Better had it been in this ruined sphere

Never to come, to go, or be awake

بِه زان نَبُدی که اندر این دِیر خراب

نه آمدمی، نه شدمی، نه بُدَمی
