This world that was our home for a brief spell never brough… - Omar Khayyám

" "
This world
that was our home
for a brief spell
never brought us anything
but pain and grief;
its a shame that not one of our problems
was ever solved.
We depart
with a thousand regrets
in our hearts.

Omar Khayyám

Additional quotes by Omar Khayyám

خوش باش که پخته اند سودای تو دی
فارغ شده اند از تمنای تو دی
قصه چه کنم که بی تقاضای تو ومی
دادند قرار کار فردای تو دی

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

This Universal wheel, this merry-go-round
In our imagination we have found
The sun a flame, in the Cosmic lantern bound
We are mere ghosts, revolving, the flame surround.
