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

"What time, my cup in hand, its draughts I drain.
And with rapt heart unconsciousness attain,
Behold what wondrous miracles are wrought,
Songs flow as water from my burning brain.

روزی که بدست بر نهم جامِِ شراب
وز غایتِ خرّمی شوم مست و خراب
صد مُعجزه پیدا کنم اندر هر باب
این طبعِِ چو آتش، سخن‌هایِ چو آب
