Rubaiyat e Omar Khayyam
In life devote yourself to joy and love
Behold the beauty of the peaceful dove Those who live, in the end must all perish Live as if you are already in heavens above. O hark, let us not think of the morrow Cherish this moment, far from sorrow Life is a temporal gift that we borrow Whether dead for ages, or leave tomorrow. To be aware of each moment spent Is to live in the now, and be present Worry for morrow shan’t make a dent Caring for the now, your mind must be bent. Our world upon joy and love was once built Why is it that we reproach and cause guilt? If we can simply correct our moral tilt, We too will only will what God wilt. When events unfold with calm and ease When the winds that blow are merely breeze Learn from nature, from birds and bees Live your life in love, and let joy not cease. Omar Khayyam Rubaiyat (excerts) Persian Poet (1048 - 1123) |
