And today we have the wise sayings of Omar Khayyam, time-tested.
The era of Omar Khayyam, which gave birth to his wise sayings.
Omar Khayyam (18.5.1048 - 4.12.1131) lived during the Eastern Middle Ages. Born in Persia (Iran) in the city of Nishapur. There he received a good education.
The outstanding abilities of Omar Khayyam led him to continue his education in the largest centers of science - the cities of Balkh and Samarkand.
Already at the age of 21, he became a major scientist - mathematician, astronomer. Omar Khayyam wrote mathematical works that were so outstanding that some of them have survived to this day. Some of his books have also reached us.
He left a major scientific legacy, including a calendar according to which the entire East lived from 1079 until the mid-19th century. The calendar is still called that way: the Omar Khayyam Calendar. This calendar is better and more accurate than the later introduced Gregorian calendar, which we live by now.
Omar Khayyam was the wisest and most educated man. Astronomer, astrologer, mathematician, horoscope specialist - everywhere he was an advanced, greatest scientist.
Still, Omar Khayyam became especially famous for his wise sayings, which he rhymed in quatrains - rubai. They have reached our time, there are many hundreds of them on different topics: about life, about love, about God, about wine and women.
We will get acquainted with some of the wise sayings of Omar Khayyam, dear readers, here.
Wise sayings of Omar Khayyam about life.
Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses,
Don’t measure today by tomorrow’s standard,
Believe neither the past nor the future minute,
Believe the current minute - be happy now!
Silence is a shield from many troubles,
And chatter is always harmful.
A person's tongue is small
But how many lives he ruined!
In this dark world
Consider it true only
Spiritual wealth,
For it will never depreciate.
If you can, don’t worry about time passing,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future,
Spend your treasures while you're alive,
After all, you will still appear in the next world as poor.
To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Remember two important rules to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.
Omar Khayyam 
If you have a nook to live in,
In our vile times, even a piece of bread,
If you are not a servant to anyone, not a master,
You are happy and truly high in spirit.
Nobility and meanness, courage and fear -
Everything is built into our bodies from birth.
Until death we will become neither better nor worse -
We are the way Allah created us!
The wind of life is sometimes fierce.
In general, however, life is good.
And it’s not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...
Don't make others angry and don't be angry yourself,
We are guests in this mortal world.
And, if something goes wrong, accept it!
Be smart and smile.
Think with a cool head.
After all, everything is natural in the world:
The evil you emitted
Will definitely come back to you!
I know the world: in it a thief sits on a thief,
A wise man always loses an argument with a fool,
The dishonest shames the honest,
And a drop of happiness drowns in a sea of grief...
Wise sayings of Omar Khayyam about love.
Beware of causing wounds
The soul that protects and loves you.
It hurts a lot more.
And, having forgiven everything, he will understand and will not judge.
Taking all the pain and bitterness from you,
Resignedly will remain in torment.
You will not hear insolence in words.
You will not see an evil tear sparkle.
Beware of causing wounds
To someone who does not respond with brute force.
And who cannot heal the scars.
Anyone who will humbly meet your blow.
Beware of cruel wounds yourself,
Which inflicts on your soul
The one you keep as a talisman,
But whoever carries you in his soul does not.
We are so cruel to those who are vulnerable.
Helpless for those we love.
We keep traces of countless wounds,
Which we will forgive... but we will not forget!!!
Can only be shown to sighted people.
Sing the song only to those who hear.
Give yourself to someone who will be grateful
Who understands, loves and appreciates you.
We are unlikely to enter this world again,
We won’t find our friends again.
Seize the moment! After all, it won't happen again,
Just as you yourself will not repeat yourself in it.
In this world, love is the adornment of people;
To be deprived of love is to be without friends.
The one whose heart has not clung to the drink of love,
He's a donkey, even though he doesn't wear donkey ears!
Woe to the heart that is colder than ice,
Doesn't glow with love, doesn't know about it,
And for the heart of a lover - a day spent
Without a lover - the most wasted of days!
Don't count your friends against each other!
Not your friend who is driven by curiosity,
and the one who will happily share the takeoff with you...
And whoever is in trouble... will hear your quiet cry...
Omar Khayyam
Yes, a woman is like wine
Where's the wine?
It's important for a man
Know a sense of proportion.
Don't look for reasons
In wine, if drunk -
It's not the culprit.
Yes, in a woman, as in a book, there is wisdom.
Can understand its great meaning
Only literate.
And don't be angry with the book,
Kohl, an ignoramus, could not read it.
Omar Khayyam
Wise sayings of Omar Khayyam about God and religion.
God exists, and everything is God! This is the center of knowledge
I took it from the Book of the Universe.
I saw the radiance of Truth with my heart,
And the darkness of godlessness burned to the ground.
They rage in cells, mosques and churches,
Hope to enter heaven and fear of hell.
Only in the soul who understands the secret of the world,
The juice of these weeds has dried up and withered away.
Not a word in the Book of Fate can be changed.
Those who suffer forever cannot be excused.
You can drink your bile until the end of your life:
Life cannot be shortened and cannot be lengthened. Omar Khayyam
The goal of the creator and the pinnacle of creation is us.
Wisdom, reason, the source of insight are us.
This circle of the universe is like a ring.
—
There is a cut diamond in it, without a doubt, we are!
What a contemporary said about the wisdom of Omar Khayyam, about his life and death.
Omar Khayyam had many students who left memories of him.
Here are the memories of one of them:
“Once in the city of Bali, on the street of slave traders, in the emir’s palace, at a feast during a cheerful conversation, our teacher Omar Khayyam said: “I will be buried in a place where always on the days of the spring equinox a fresh wind will shower the flowers of the fruit branches.” Twenty-four years later I visited Nishapur, where this great man was buried, and asked to be shown his grave. I was taken to the cemetery of Khaira, and I saw the grave at the foot of the garden wall, shaded by pear and apricot trees and showered with flower petals so that it was completely hidden under them. I remembered the words spoken in Balkh and began to cry. Nowhere in the whole world, up to its inhabited borders, was there a man like him.”

Quotes and Aphorisms 16.09.2017
Dear readers, today I invite you to a philosophical conversation. After all, we will talk about the statements of the famous poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam. The poet is considered one of the greatest minds and philosophers of the East. Composing aphorisms about life with meaning, Omar Khayyam wrote short quatrains - rubai. It is interesting, however, that during his lifetime he was much better known as an astronomer and mathematician.
Before the Victorian era, it was known only in the East. Due to the breadth of their views, for a long time Khayyam the poet and Khayyam the scientist were considered different people. The collection of quatrains, rubaiyat, was published after the death of the author. Europeans read the rubaiyat in the translation of the English naturalist and poet Edward Fitzgerald. According to writers, Hayam's collection of poems includes more than 5,000 works. Historians are cautious: experts say that Khayyam wrote only 300 to 500 poems.
The philosopher had a keen sense of life and accurately described the characters of people. Noticed peculiarities of behavior in different situations. Despite the fact that he lived many years ago, Khayyam’s sayings and thoughts are still relevant today, and many of his sayings have become famous aphorisms.
And now I invite you, dear readers, to receive subtle pleasure from the poetic wisdom and wit of the aphorisms and quotes of the great thinker Omar Khayyam.
Quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about love
The poet could not ignore the eternal theme of relations between men and women. Sincerely and simply he writes:
Days spent without the joys of love,
I consider the burden unnecessary and hateful.
But idealism is alien to Khayyam. Love's tossing is described in several lines:
How often, when we make mistakes in life, we lose those we value.
Trying to please others, sometimes we run away from our neighbors.
We exalt those who are not worthy of us, and betray the most faithful.
Those who love us so much, we offend, and we ourselves expect an apology.
The poet also thought a lot about how true intimacy and love between people is manifested:
Giving yourself does not mean selling.
And sleeping next to each other does not mean sleeping with you.
Not taking revenge does not mean forgiving everything.
Not being around doesn’t mean not loving.
Physical distances mattered more in the distant past than they do now. But mental alienation can still be the same. A connoisseur of souls about the eternal problem of families, the seduction of husbands, said briefly: “You can seduce a man who has a wife, you can seduce a man who has a mistress, but you cannot seduce a man who has a beloved woman.”
At the same time, the philosopher admits:
A weak man is an unfaithful slave of fate,
Exposed, I am a shameless slave!
Especially in love. I myself, I am the first
Always unfaithful and weak towards many.
About the ideal of female beauty on behalf of men, Khayyam wrote:
You, whose appearance is fresher than wheat fields,
You are a mihrab from the temple of heaven!
When you were born, your mother washed you with ambergris,
By mixing drops of my blood into the aroma!
Surprisingly, more than ten centuries have passed since these lines were written, and the actions of the lovers have hardly changed. Maybe that’s why the wittiest quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam are still so popular?
Quotes from Omar Khayyam about the joy of life
During the life of the scientist in the Islamic world (within modern borders from Azerbaijan to India), religion in literature imposed strict restrictions on the description of love. For more than thirty years, there has been a strict ban on mentioning alcohol in poetry. But the philosopher seems to laugh at the imams. Famous verses are broken down into aphorisms.
They tell us that in the depths of paradise we will embrace the wondrous houris,
Blissfully delighting yourself with the purest honey and wine.
So if it is allowed by the Eternal Ones themselves in the holy paradise,
Is it possible to forget beauties and wine in a fleeting world?
However, Khayyam’s notorious wine is not so much alcoholic as a symbol of the joy of life:
Drink! And into the fire of spring chaos
Throw away the holey, dark cloak of winter.
The earthly path is short. And time is a bird.
The bird has wings... You are at the edge of darkness.
Wine is also a way to comprehend the wisdom of seemingly ordinary phenomena and images:
Man is the truth of the world, the crown
Not everyone knows this, but only a sage.
Drink a drop of wine so you don't think
That creations are all based on the same pattern.
Although the most important thing is the ability to enjoy life:
Do not worry that your name will be forgotten.
Let the intoxicating drink comfort you.
Before your joints fall apart,
Comfort yourself with your beloved by caressing her.
The main feature of the sage’s works is integrity without the currently fashionable conflict. A person is not only integral, but also influences his environment:
Only the dawn will be barely visible in the sky,
Draw from the cup the juice of the invaluable vine!
We know: the truth in the mouths of people is bitter, -
So, then, we must consider wine to be the truth.
This is the whole of Khayyam - he suggests looking for the meaning of life in its endless manifestations.
Aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about life
This is the essence of philosophers - to constantly think about what is happening around and be able to express it accurately and succinctly. Omar Khayyam expressed a very unusual view:
And the nights gave way to days
Before us, oh my dear friend,
And the stars did everything the same
Your circle is predetermined by fate.
Ah, hush! Walk carefully
To the dust under your foot -
You trample the ashes of beauties,
The remains of their wondrous eyes.
Khayyam is also wise in his attitude towards death and suffering. Like any wise man, he knew that there was no point in regretting the past and that in constant expectation of better happiness, too, could not be found.
Don’t curse heaven for your suffering.
Look at the graves of your friends without sobbing.
Appreciate this fleeting moment.
Don't look at yesterday and tomorrow.
And he wrote about different perceptions of life:
Two people were looking out the same window. One saw rain and mud.
The other is green elm foliage, spring and blue sky.
Two people were looking out the same window.
And, of course, all the basic laws of the universe were obvious to him, which even now indicate that the best thing in life is to do good:
Don't do evil - it will come back like a boomerang,
Don't spit in the well - you will drink the water,
Don't insult someone of lower rank
What if you have to ask for something?
Don't betray your friends - you can't replace them,
And don’t lose your loved ones - you won’t get them back,
Don't lie to yourself - you'll find out over time
That you are betraying yourself with this lie.
The philosopher considered labor to be the main thing, and position in society, wealth and social benefits to be only transitory attributes. About swagger he wrote:
Sometimes someone proudly glances: “It’s me!”
Decorate your outfits with gold: “It’s me!”
But only his affairs will go well,
Suddenly death emerges from ambush: “It’s me!”
In the fleeting nature of existence, the poet valued humanity and the ability to focus on one’s tasks:
Don't envy someone who is strong and rich
Sunset always follows dawn.
With this short life, equal to a breath,
Treat it as if it was rented to you.
Omar Khayyam was able to treat many things with humor:
When I lay my head under the fence,
In the clutches of death, like a bird in the plucking, I will please -
I bequeath: make a jug out of me,
Involve me in your revelry!
Although, like wine, the revelry and joy of the poet cannot be understood only literally. The rubaiyat contains several layers of wisdom.
Reflections on God and Religion
Due to the peculiarities of the worldview of the East at that time, Khayyam could not ignore religion.
God is in the veins of days. All life is His game.
From mercury it is living silver.
It will sparkle with the moon, become silver with a fish...
He is all flexible, and death is His game.
Omar Khayyam took a long time to understand God. God, according to Khayyam, is very different from the Christian trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In moments He is visible, more often he is hidden.
He keeps a close eye on our lives.
God whiles away eternity with our drama!
He composes, directs and watches.
Strictly speaking, in Islam, only the Holy Spirit is present from the trinity. According to the Koran, Jesus, or rather Isa, is one of the greatest prophets. The scientist openly did not like them:
Prophets came to us in droves,
And they promised light to the dark world.
But they all have their eyes closed
They followed each other down into the darkness.
Although the philosopher took part in raising the children of noble families, he did not leave behind any theological works. The fact is all the more surprising that during 10 years of work in Bukhara, the scientist published 4 fundamental additions to Euclid’s geometry and 2 works on astronomy. Apparently, Theosophy remained outside his interests. His humorous verse speaks about his attitude towards the cult of religion:
I enter the mosque. The hour is late and dull.
I am not thirsty for a miracle and not with a prayer:
Once upon a time I pulled a rug from here,
And he was worn out. We need another...
Who planted a rose of tender love
To the cuts of the heart - you didn’t live in vain!
And the one who listened sensitively to God with his heart,
And the one who drank the hops of earthly delight!
About grief, grief to the heart, where there is no burning passion.
Where there is no love, there is no torment, where there are no dreams of happiness.
A day without love is lost: dimmer and grayer,
Why is this day barren, and there are no days of bad weather. – Omar Khayyam
Dawn threw a sheaf of fire onto the roofs
And he threw the ball of the lord of the day into the cup.
Sip the wine! Sounds in the rays of dawn
The call of love, drunken the universe.
Loving you, I bear all reproaches
And it’s not in vain that I vow eternal fidelity.
Since I will live forever, I will be ready until the day of judgment
To humbly endure heavy and cruel oppression. – Omar Khayyam
If you want to touch a rose, don’t be afraid to cut your hands,
If you want to drink, don’t be afraid of getting a hangover.
And love is beautiful, reverent and passionate
If you want to burn your heart in vain, don’t be afraid!
My eyes are crying because of the chain of separations,
My heart cries from doubts and torment.
I cry pitifully and write these lines,
Even the kalam cries, falling out of his hands...
Read the continuation of the best aphorisms and quotes of Omar Khayyam on the pages:
You don’t push your horse on the road of love -
You will be exhausted by the end of the day.
Do not curse the one who is tormented by love -
You cannot comprehend the heat of someone else's fire.
I stubbornly wondered over the book of life,
Suddenly, with heartache, the sage said to me:
“There is no more beautiful bliss - to lose yourself in the arms of
Moon-faced beauty, whose lips seemed to lal.”
Passion for you tore the robe of roses,
Your scent contains the breath of roses.
You are tender, sparkles of sweat on silken skin,
Like dew at the wonderful moment of opening roses!
Like the sun, love burns without burning,
Like a bird of heavenly paradise - love.
But not yet love - nightingale moans,
Do not moan, dying of love - love!
Sacrifice yourself for the sake of your beloved,
Sacrifice what is most precious to you.
Never be cunning when giving love,
Sacrifice your life, be courageous, ruining your heart!
Rose said: “Oh, my appearance today
Essentially, he speaks about my madness.
Why do I come out of the bud bleeding?
The path to freedom often lies through thorns!”
Give me some wine! There is no place for empty words here.
Kisses from my beloved are my bread and balm.
The lips of an ardent lover are wine-colored,
The violence of passion is like her hair.
Tomorrow - alas! – hidden from our eyes!
Hurry to use the hour flying into the abyss.
Drink, moon-faced one! How often will the month be
Ascend to heaven, no longer seeing us.
Above all else is love,
In the song of youth, the first word is love.
Oh, wretched ignoramus in the world of love,
Know that the basis of our entire life is love!
Woe to the heart that is colder than ice,
Doesn't glow with love, doesn't know about it.
And for the heart of a lover, a day spent
Without a lover, it’s the most wasted of days!
Talk about love is devoid of magic,
Like cooled coals, the fire is deprived.
And true love burns hot,
Deprived of sleep and rest, night and day.
Don't beg for love, loving hopelessly,
Do not wander under the window of an unfaithful woman, grieving.
Like beggar dervishes, be independent -
Maybe then they will love you.
Where to escape from fiery passions,
What hurts your soul?
When would I know that this torment is the source
In the hands of the one who is dearer to you all...
I'll share my deepest secret with you,
In a nutshell, I will express my tenderness and sadness.
I dissolve in the dust with love for you,
From the earth I will rise with love for you.
From the zenith of Saturn to the belly of the Earth
The mysteries of the world have found their interpretation.
I have unraveled all the loops near and far,
Except for the simplest one - except for the light loop.
Those to whom life was given in full measure,
Intoxicated with the intoxication of love and wine.
Having dropped the unfinished cup of delight,
They sleep side by side in the arms of eternal sleep.
You alone brought joy to my heart,
Your death burned my heart with grief.
Only with you could I endure all the sorrows of the world,
Without you, what is the world and worldly affairs to me?
You have chosen the path of love - you must firmly follow,
The sparkle of your eyes will flood everything along this path.
And having achieved a lofty goal with patience,
Breathe so hard that you can shake the world with your sigh!
Oh, if only, taking with me the poems of the sofa
Yes, in a jug of wine and putting bread in my pocket,
I want to spend a day with you among the ruins, -
Any sultan could envy me.
The branches will not tremble... the night... I'm alone...
In the darkness a rose drops a petal.
So - you left! And bitter intoxications
The flying delirium is dispelled and far away.
Let me touch, my love, the thick strands,
This reality is dearer to me than any dreams...
I can only compare your curls to a loving heart,
So tender and so quivering are their curls!
We have now forgotten our vows of repentance
And they closed the door tightly to good fame.
We are beside ourselves; Don't blame us for this:
We are drunk with the wine of love, not with wine, believe me!
I found paradise here, over a cup of wine,
Among the roses, near my dear one, burning with love.
Why should we listen to talk about hell and heaven!
Who has seen hell? Has anyone returned from heaven?
Reason gives praise to this cup,
The lover kisses her all night long.
And the mad potter made such an elegant bowl
Creates and hits the ground without mercy!
Khayyam! What are you grieving about? Have fun!
You are feasting with a friend - be merry!
Oblivion awaits everyone. You could have disappeared
You still exist - be happy!
Wounded by passion, I shed tears tirelessly,
I pray to heal my poor heart,
For instead of a love drink the sky
My cup has been filled with the blood of my heart.
With the one whose body is like a cypress, and whose lips seem to be lal,
Go to the garden of love and fill your glass,
While the doom is inevitable, the wolf is insatiable,
This flesh, like a shirt, was not torn off you!
It’s better to drink and caress cheerful beauties,
Why seek salvation in fasting and prayers?
If there's a place in hell for lovers and drunkards,
Then who do you order to be allowed into heaven?
Oh, don't grow a tree of sorrow...
Seek wisdom from your own beginning.
Caress your loved ones and love wine!
After all, we are not married to life forever.
When the violets pour out their fragrance
And the spring wind blows,
The sage is the one who drinks wine with his beloved,
Breaking the cup of repentance on a stone.
Alas, we are not given many days to stay here,
To live them without love and without wine is a sin.
There is no need to think whether this world is old or young:
If we are destined to leave, do we really care?
Among the beautiful houris I am drunk and in love
And I give a grateful bow to the wine.
Today I am free from the shackles of existence
And blessed, as if invited to a higher palace.
Give me a jug of wine and a cup, oh my love,
We will sit with you in the meadow and on the bank of the stream!
The sky is full of beauties, from the beginning of existence,
It turned, my friend, into bowls and jugs - I know.
In the morning the rose opened its bud in the wind,
And the nightingale sang, in love with her beauty.
Sit in the shade. These roses will bloom for a long time,
When our sorrowful ashes are buried.
Do not worry that your name will be forgotten.
Let the intoxicating drink comfort you.
Before your joints fall apart -
Comfort yourself with your beloved by caressing her.
Kiss your foot, oh queen of joy,
Much sweeter than the lips of a half-asleep girl!
Every day I indulge all your whims,
So that on a starry night I can merge with my beloved.
Your lips gave the color to ruby,
You left - I am sad, and my heart is bleeding.
Who hid in the ark like Noah from the flood,
He alone will not drown in the abyss of love.
Whose heart does not burn with passionate love for the beloved, -
Without consolation he drags out his sad life.
Days spent without the joys of love,
I consider the burden unnecessary and hateful.
From edge to edge we are on the path to death;
We cannot turn back from the brink of death.
Look, in the local caravanserai
Don't accidentally forget your love!
Our world is an alley of young roses,
A chorus of nightingales, a transparent swarm of dragonflies.
And in the fall? Silence and stars
And the darkness of your flowing hair...
Who is ugly, who is handsome - does not know passion,
A madman in love agrees to go to hell.
Lovers don't care what to wear,
What to lay on the ground, what to put under your head.
Throw off the burden of self-interest, the oppression of vanity,
Enmeshed in evil, break out of these snares.
Drink wine and comb your darling's locks:
The day will pass unnoticed - and life will flash by.
My advice: always be drunk and in love,
To be dignified and important is not worth the effort.
Not needed by the almighty Lord God
Neither your mustache, friend, nor my beard!
I went out into the garden sad and not happy about the morning,
The nightingale sang to Rose in a mysterious way:
“Show yourself from the bud, rejoice in the morning,
How many wonderful flowers this garden gave!”
Love is a fatal misfortune, but the misfortune is by the will of Allah.
Why do you blame what is always by the will of Allah?
A series of evil and good arose - by the will of Allah.
Why do we need thunder and flames of Judgment - by the will of Allah?
Come quickly, full of enchantment,
Dispel sadness, breathe in the warmth of your heart!
Pour a jug of wine into the jugs
Our ashes have not yet been turned by a potter.
You, whom I have chosen, are dearer to me than anyone else.
Heart of ardent heat, light of eyes for me.
Is there anything in life more precious than life?
You and my life are more precious to me.
I'm not afraid of reproaches, my pocket is not empty,
But still, put away the wine and put the glass aside.
I always drank wine - I looked for pleasure to my heart,
Why should I drink now that I'm drunk with you?
Only your face makes a sad heart happy.
I don’t need anything except your face.
I see my image in you, looking into your eyes,
I see you in myself, my joy.
In the morning my rose wakes up,
My rose blooms in the wind.
O cruel sky! Has barely blossomed -
How my rose is already crumbling.
Passion for an unfaithful woman struck me like a plague.
It’s not for me that my darling is going crazy!
Who, my heart, will cure us of passion,
If our doctor suffers herself.
You are the queen of the game. I'm not happy myself.
My knight has become a pawn, but I can’t take my move back...
I press my black rook against your white rook,
Two faces are now side by side... But what happens in the end? Mat!
A life-giving spring is hidden in the bud of your lips,
Let no one else's cup touch your lips forever...
The jug that preserves the trace of them, I will drain to the bottom.
Wine can replace everything... Everything except your lips!
Have fun!... Can't catch a stream in captivity?
But the running stream caresses!
Is there no consistency in women and in life?
But it’s your turn!
We are like compasses, together, on the grass:
The single body has two heads,
We make a full circle, rotating on the rod,
To match head to head again.
The sheikh shamed the harlot: “You, a prostitute, drink,
You sell your body to everyone who wants it!”
“I am,” said the harlot, “really like that,
Are you who you say you are?”
The sky is the belt of my ruined life,
The tears of the fallen are the salty waves of the seas.
Paradise - blissful peace after passionate efforts,
Hellfire is just a reflection of extinguished passions.
From the lilac cloud to the green plains
White jasmine is falling all day long.
I pour a lily-like cup
Pure pink flame - the best of wines.
In this life, intoxication is the best thing,
The singing of the gentle Guria is best,
Free thought boiling is best,
Oblivion of all prohibitions is best.
If you are in the rays of hope, look for your heart, heart,
If you are in the company of a friend, look into his heart with your heart.
The temple and the countless temples are smaller than a small heart,
Throw away your Kaaba, look for your heart with your heart.
Sweet curls are darker from the musk of the night,
And the ruby of her lips is more valuable than all stones...
I once compared her figure to a cypress tree,
Now the cypress tree is proud to the roots!
Drink wine, for bodily joy is in it.
Listen to the chang, for the sweetness of heaven is in it.
Trade your eternal sorrow for joy,
For the goal, unknown to anyone, is in him.
A blooming garden, a girlfriend and a cup of wine -
This is my paradise. I don't want to find myself in something else.
Yes, no one has ever seen heavenly paradise!
So let's take comfort in earthly things for now.
I would like to cool my soul towards the unfaithful one,
Allow yourself to be taken over by a new passion.
I would like to, but tears fill my eyes,
Tears don't let me look at anyone else.
