Khayyam The Philosophical poet | رباعیات خیام |Poem #45 + English Translation
his poetry is simple, short and deep
Facts will not change to humor man's caprice,
So vaunt not human powers, but hold your peace;
Here must we stay, weighed down with grief for this,
That we were born so late, so soon decease.
چون کار نه بر مراد ما خواهد رفت
اندیشه و جهد ما کجا خواهد رفت
در پردهٔ اسرار کسی را ره نیست
زین تعبیه جان کسی آگه نیست
