In this series of poems, I'll gather the great philosophical poet, known as Khayyam's poems
his poetry is simple, short and deep
So many cups of wine will I consume,
Its bouquet shall exhale from out my tomb,
And every one that passes by shall halt,
And reel and stagger with that mighty fume.
چندان بخورم شراب کین بُویِ شراب
آید ز تراب چُون روم زیرِ تراب
تا بر سرِ خاکِ من رسد مخموری
از بُویِ شرابِ من شود مست و خراب
