Quatrain 40

Quatrain 40 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

If fortune's root has grown your eternal tree

If life fits your form like garments snug and free

گر شاخِ بقا ز بیخِ بختت رُسْته‌ست

ور بر تنِ تو، عُمْر، لباسی چُسْت است

In body's tent that serves as your shelter here

Lean not, for its pegs are loose, as you can see

در خیمهٔ تن که سایبانی‌ست تو را

هان تکیه مکن که چارمیخش سُسْت است
