Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

When Allah created me, he knew that I
would drink a lot of wine. So if I didn't, the
omniscience of Allah would stand on its head.

ماییم که اصل شادی و کان غمیم
سرمایه ی دادیم و نهاد ستمیم
پستیم و بلندیم و کمالیم و کمیم
آیینه ی زنگ خورده و جام جمیم

نلبس بين الناس ثوب الرياء
ونحن في قبضة كفّ القضاء
وكم سعينا نرتجى مهربًا
فكان مسعانا جميعًا هباء
