Quatrain 74
Quatrain 74 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Since fate and life can't be more or less made
Let not the heart by more or less be swayed
چون روزی و عمر بیش و کم نتوان کرد
دل را به کم و بیش دُژَم نتوان کرد
Our affairs are not as we wish them to be
Even wax in our hands can't be thus shaped
کارِ من و تو چنانکه رایِ من و توست
از موم به دستِ خویش هم نتوان کرد
