Omar Khayyám - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Koran! well, come put me to the test—

Lovely old book in hideous error drest—

 Believe me, I can quote the Koran too,

The unbeliever knows his Koran best.

 

And do you think that unto such as you,

A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew,

 God gave the secret, and denied it me?—

Well, well, what matters it! believe that too.

"Heed not the Sunna, nor the law divine;
If to the poor his portion you assign,
And never injure one, nor yet abuse,
I guarantee you heaven, and now some wine!

Slaves of vain wisdom and philosophy,
Who toil at Being and Nonentity,
Parching your brains till they are like dry grapes,
Be wise in time, and drink grapejuice like me!

You, who in carnal lusts your time employ,
Wearing your precious spirit with annoy,
Know that these things you set your heart upon
Sooner or later must the soul destroy!

Never in this false world on friends rely,
(I give this counsel confidentially);
Put up with pain, and seek no antidote;
Endure your grief, and ask no sympathy!

You know all secrets of this earthly sphere,
Why then remain a prey to empty fear?
You can not bend things to your will, but yet
Cheer up for the few moments you are here!"
