Quatrain 26
Quatrain 26 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Since heaven's wheel never turned to any wise one's will
Count seven spheres or eight, it matters nil
چون چرخ به کام یک خردمند نگشت
خواهی تو فلک هفت شمر، خواهی هشت
Since death must come and all desires leave still
What matters if ants in grave or wolves on plain us kill!
چون باید مرد و آرزوها همه هشت
چه مور خورَد به گور و چه گرگ به دشت!
