Omar Khayyam

برخیز و مخور غم جهان گذران

English translation

Persian

Original lyrics

برخیز و مخور غم جهان گذران

بنشین و دمی به شادمانی گذران

در طبع جهان اگر وفایی بودی

نوبت به تو خود نیامدی از دگران

English

Translation

Stand up, fret not about the fleeting universe

Sit down, relish living a moment of happiness

If faithful love of all were the world's concern,

The world would still love others: now wouldn't be your turn
