Ruba'i No. 20: The flood has surrounded the ruins of life.
رباعی شماره ۲۰: سیلاب گرفت گرد ویرانه عمر
A flood has surrounded the ruins of life,
And has begun to fill the cup of life.
سیلاب گرفت گرد ویرانهٔ عمر
وآغاز پری نهاد پیمانهٔ عمر
Wake up, oh master, for gently it pulls away,
The porter of time, the belongings from the house of life.
بیدار شو ای خواجه که خوش خوش بکشد
حمال زمانه رخت از خانهٔ عمر
