“I hide my distress, just like
the blessed birds hide themselves
when they are preparing to die. Wine! Wine, roses, music and your
indifference to my sadness, my loved-one!”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...

“Be quiet, pain and sorrow!
Let me find a remedy. I have to live,
as once dead there is no memory. And I want
to see my love and be with her. And I
want to remember our being together.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam: English, French And German Translations Comparatively Arranged V2

“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.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...

“What shall I do, today? Visit the pub?
Sit down in a garden with a book? A bird
flies past. Where is it headed? It's out of
sight already. The drunkenness of a bird in the
burning azure. The melancholy of a man
in the cool shadow of a mosque.”
― Omar Khayyám, Rubaiyat De Omar Khayyam...
