Khayyam The Philosophical poet | رباعیات خیام |Poem #64 + English Translation
his poetry is simple, short and deep
One draught of wine outweighs the realm of Tús,
Throne of Kobád and crown of Kai Kawús;
Sweeter are sighs that lovers heave at morn,
Than all the groanings zealot breasts produce.
یک جرعه می ز ملک کاووس به است
از تخت قباد و ملکت طوس به است
هر ناله که رندی به سحرگاه زند
از طاعت زاهدان سالوس به است
