“از مرگ....
هرگز از مرگ نهراسيده ام
اگرچه دستانش از ابتذال شكننده تر بود.
هراس من -باري - همه مردن در سرزميني ست...
كه مزد گوركن
از بهاي آزادي آدمي افزون باشد.”

“To all of us the thought of heaven is dear ---
Why not be sure of it and make it here?
No doubt there is a heaven yonder too,
But 'tis so far away --- and you are near.”
― Edward Fitzgerald's The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

“How much more of the mosque, of prayer and fasting?
Better go drunk and begging round the taverns.
Khayyam, drink wine, for soon this clay of yours
Will make a cup, bowl, one day a jar.
When once you hear the roses are in bloom,
Then is the time, my love, to pour the wine;
Houris and palaces and Heaven and Hell-
These are but fairy-tales, forget them all.”

“O friend, for the morrow let us not worry
This moment we have now, let us not hurry
When our time comes, we shall not tarry
With seven thousand-year-olds, our burden carry”
