Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

Whether at Naishápúr or Babylon,
Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter run,
The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop,
The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one.

And if the Wine you drink, the Lip
you press,
End in what All begins and ends in — Yes;
Think then you are TO-DAY what
YESTERDAY You were — TO-MORROW you
shall not be less

جهلتِ يا نفسي ســر الوجود - وغبتِ في غور الفضَاء البعيد
فصـــوّري من نشوتي جنّـَـــةً - فرُبما أُحـــــرمُ دار الخــــــلود
