In Quatrain 118 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Khayyam says shame on you if difficulties in life prevents you from enjoying your life, and waste your opportunities until your time is over.

ایام زمانه از کسی دارد ننگ
کو در غم ایام نشیند دلتنگ

می خور تو در آبگینه با ناله چنگ
زان پیش که آبگینه آید بر سنگ

English translation:
The days of time have only shame for one,
Who sits sorrowful in the grief of days.

Drink wine in the glass with the lament of the harp,
Before the glass strikes the rock.
