Translations of Selected Quatrains from Khayyám's Rubáiyát from Persian

By Sahand Rabbani


Some contemplate the way of piety;
Others assert doubt with certainty.
Suddenly a herald cries from his lair:
"O ignorant souls! neither one is reality."
قومی متفکرند اندر ره دین
قومی به گمان فتاده در راه یقین
میترسم از آن که بانگ آید روزی
کای بیخبران راه نه آنست و نه این
