Quatrain 53
Quatrain 53 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
When life ends, what matters sweet or sour's reign
When cup's full, what matters Baghdad or Balkh's domain
چون عمر به سر رسد چه شیرین و چه تلخ
پیمانه چو پر شود چه بغداد و چه بلخ
Drink wine, for after you and I are gone
The moon will pass from full to new again
می نوش که بعد از من و تو ماه بسی
از سَلخ به غُرّه آید از غُرّه به سلخ
