How sad, a heart that
does not know how to love, that
does not know what it is to be drunk with love.
If you are not in love, how can you enjoy
the blinding light of the sun,

Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

این قافله‌ی عمر عجب می‌گذرد
دریاب دمی که با طرب می‌گذرد
ساقی غم فردای حریفان چه خوری
پیش آر پیاله را که شب می‌گذرد

ای بی خبر این جسم مجسم هیچ است
وین طارم نه سپهر ارقم هیچ است
خوش باش که در نشیمن کون و فساد
وابسته یک دمیم آن هم هیچ است
