Ruba'i No. 18: It is the days of youth, and wine is better. *(Attributed to several poets)
رباعی شماره ۱۸: ایام شباب است شراب اولیٰتر *(منتسب به چند نفر)
It is the time of youth; wine is more preferable,
With those with fresh complexions, pure wine is more preferable.
ایام شباب است شراب اولیتر
با سبز خطان بادهٔ ناب اولیتر
The whole world is entirely a ruined caravanserai,
In a ruined place, even more ruin is preferable.
عالم همه سر به سر رباطیست خراب
در جای خراب هم خراب اولیتر
