Quatrain 31
Quatrain 31 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
When the Creator arranged nature's elements so fine
Why did He cast them to decline and decline?
دارنده چو ترکیب طبایع آراست
از بهر چه اوفکندش اندر کم و کاست؟
If it came out well, why break it at all?
If not well-made, whose fault is this design?
گر نیک آمد، شکستن از بهر چه بود؟
ور نیک نیامد، این صور عیب که راست؟
