Translations of Selected Quatrains from Khayyám's Rubáiyát from Persian

By Sahand Rabbani


Till when shall I brood over whether I have or have not?
Over whether to live this life contently or not?
Hurry! Fill the cup with wine, for I do not know
Whether I will survive to exhale this next breath or not.
تا کی غم آن خورم که دارم یا نه
وین عمر به خوشدلی گذارم یا نه
پرکن قدح باده که معلومم نیست
کاین دم که فرو برم برآرم یا نه
