In this series of poems, I'll gather the great philosophical poet, known as Khayyam's poems
his poetry is simple, short and deep




Bring wine! my heart with dancing spirit teems,
Wake I fortune's waking is as fleeting dreams;
Quicksilver-like our days are swift of foot,
And youthful fire subsides as torrent streams.

می در کف من نه که دلم در تاب است
وین عمر گریز پای چون سیماب است
دریاب که آتش جوانی آب است*
هشدار که بیداری دولت خواب است
