“They say the Lion and the Lizard keep
The Courts where Jamshýd gloried and drank deep:
And Bahrám, that great Hunter--the Wild Ass
Stamps o'er his Head, but cannot break his Sleep.”
― Omar Khayyam

“Не желая скиптъра на владетеля,
нито жезъла на първосвещеника!
Дайте ми само тояга проста
И пъд далечен, достигащ до безкрая!”
― Omar Khayyám

“قومی متفکر اند اندر ره دین

قومی به گمان فتاده در راه یقین

می ترسم از آنکه بانگ آید روزی

کای بی خبران ، راه نه آن است و نه این”
― خیام

“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.”
― Omar Khayyám
