Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
As soon as you went out into the garden, the scarlet poppy became embarrassed,
There is no way to calm down from envy.
Why didn’t the cypress bow to you?
I saw the wondrous figure and was seized with tetanus!
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
To the radiance of the moon, beauty of the night,
I will add the warmth given by the candle,
The sparkle of sugar, the posture of a cypress tree,
The murmur of a stream... And your appearance will come out.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
What a temptation, what a temptation, God bless!...
Your face reigns in dreams day and night.
That's why there is pain in the chest and trembling in the heart,
And dry lips, and wet eyes, and trembling hands.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
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.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
He dressed many women in brocade and pearls,
But I could not find an ideal among them.
I asked the sage: - What is perfection?
- The one next to you! - He told me.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
Torment ages beauties. Get rid of trouble
The one whose eyelids are transparent and whose lips are firm.
Be more tender with your beloved: beauty escapes,
Leaving traces of suffering on the face.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
To the world - the haven of our few days -
For a long time I fixed the inquisitive gaze of my eyes.
So what? Your face is brighter than the bright moon;
Than a slender cypress, your wonderful figure is straighter.
Persian philosopher, mathematician, astronomer and poet. He contributed to algebra by constructing a classification of cubic equations and solving them using conic sections.
Born in the city of Nishapur, which is located in Khorasan (now the Iranian province of Khorasan Razavi). Omar was the son of a tent dweller, and he also had a younger sister named Aisha. At the age of 8 he began to study mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy deeply. At the age of 12, Omar became a student at the Nishapur madrasah. Later he studied at madrassas in Balkh, Samarkand and Bukhara. There he completed a course in Islamic law and medicine with honors, receiving the qualification of haki?ma, that is, a doctor. But medical practice was of little interest to him. He studied the works of the famous mathematician and astronomer Thabit ibn Kurra, and the works of Greek mathematicians.

About love

Poems about love
“Is it really possible to imagine a person, unless he is a moral freak, in whom such a mixture and diversity of beliefs, opposing inclinations and directions, high virtues and base passions, painful doubts and hesitations could be combined and coexisted...” - to this perplexed The researcher's question has a short, comprehensive answer: it is possible, if we are talking about Omar Khayyam.
Quotes and aphorisms
You like even the shortcomings in a loved one, and even the advantages in an unloved person irritate you.
Why do you expect benefit from your wisdom? You will get milk from the goat sooner. Pretend to be a fool - and you will be more useful, And wisdom these days is cheaper than leeks.
Those who have been beaten by life will achieve more,
He who has eaten a pound of salt appreciates honey more.
He who shed tears laughs sincerely,
He who has died knows that he lives.
Don't forget that you are not alone:
And in the most difficult moments, God is next to you.
Never go back. There is no point in going back anymore. Even if there are the same eyes in which thoughts were drowning. Even if you are drawn to where everything was so nice, don’t ever go there, forget forever what happened. The same people live in the past that they always promised to love. If you remember this, forget it, don’t ever go there. Don't trust them, they are strangers. After all, they once left you. They killed faith in their souls, in love, in people and in themselves. Just live what you live and even though life looks like hell, look only forward, never go back.
A pensive soul tends towards loneliness.
I have never been repulsed by a person’s poverty; it’s another matter if his soul and thoughts are poor.
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.
Live at least a hundred years, at least ten hundred years,
You still have to leave this world.
Be a padishah or a beggar at the market,
There is only one price for you: there are no dignities for death.
Love can do without reciprocity, but friendship never can.
When you go away for five minutes,
Don't forget to keep your palms warm.
In the palms of those who are waiting for you,
In the palms of those who remember you...
No matter how great your wisdom is, it gives you as much milk as a goat’s milk! Isn't it wiser to just play the fool? “You’ll be better off for sure.”
You can't look into tomorrow today,
Just the thought of him makes my chest feel painful.
Who knows how many days you have left to live?
Don't waste them, be prudent.
Only those who are worse than us think badly of us, and those who are better than us... They simply have no time for us...
I asked the wisest: “What have you learned?
From your manuscripts? The wisest one said:
“Happy is he who is in the arms of a tender beauty
At night I’m far from the wisdom of books!”
Be happy in this moment. This moment is your life.
The lower a person's soul,
The higher the nose lifts!
He reaches his nose there,
Where the soul has not grown...
Don't say the man is a womanizer. If he had been monogamous, it wouldn’t have been your turn.
I think it's better to be alone
How to give the heat of the soul to “someone”
Giving a priceless gift to just anyone
Once you meet your loved one, you will not be able to fall in love.
Those who lose heart die before their time.
Don’t trust someone who speaks beautifully, there is always a game in his words.
Trust the one who silently does beautiful things.
Don't be afraid to give warming words,
And do good deeds.
The more wood you put on the fire,
The more heat will return.
Passion cannot be friends with deep love,
If he can, then they won’t be together for long.
Don't look at how someone else is smarter than everyone else,
And see if he is true to his word.
If he doesn’t throw his words to the wind -
There is no price for him, as you yourself understand.
Instead of looking for the truth, we would milk a goat!
Everything is bought and sold,
And life openly laughs at us.
We are indignant, we are indignant,
But we buy and sell.
Above all the teachings and rules on how to live correctly, I chose to affirm two foundations of dignity: It is better not to eat anything at all than to eat whatever is horrible; It's better to be alone than to be friends with just anyone.
Life is ashamed of those who sit and mourn,
He who does not remember joys does not forgive insults...
Life is a moment. Appreciate it while you are alive, drawing inspiration. Life is only your creation. As you harness it, so will you go.
Always keep it short – just the gist. This is the conversation of a real man. A pair of ears is a lonely tongue. Pay attention and listen twice - open your mouth only once. – Omar Khayyam
Pour, do not spare me the flowing fire, pour ruby sparks into the glass, give me a massive goblet, fill the container with the joy of playing lights.
The stars decorated our sky. They shine in the sky, disturbing peace and sleep. We are expecting thousands of people. The table is set, but it's low season.
If you recognize someone else's superiority, that means you are an adult husband. If he is a true master of his actions and promises, then he is doubly a man. There is no honor or glory in humiliating the weak. If you are compassionate in misfortune, if you help in trouble, you are also worthy of recognition and respect. O. Khayyam
Fortunately, no one has ever been able to please and satisfy oneself without consequences and disappointments.
The source of joy and the sea of sorrow are people. As well as a container of filth, and a transparent spring. A person is reflected in a thousand mirrors - he changes his face like a chameleon, at the same time being insignificant and immeasurably great.

Those who have not sought the way are unlikely to be shown the way - Knock - and the doors to destiny will open!
Passion cannot be friends with deep love; if it can, then they will not be together for long.
If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out! If a wise man pours poison on you, accept it!
Those who lose heart die before their time.
No one saw either heaven or hell; Has anyone returned from there to our corruptible world? But these ghosts are fruitless for us and our fears and hopes are an unchanging source.
exalt yourself, Are you so great and wise? - dare to ask yourself. Let the eyes serve as an example - huge seeing the world, They do not complain because they cannot see themselves.
We change rivers, countries, cities. Other doors. New Years. But we can’t escape ourselves anywhere, and if we escape, we will only go nowhere.
Evil is not born from good and vice versa. Human eyes are given to us to distinguish them!
I will teach you how to please everyone, lavish smiles left and right, praise Jews, Muslims and Christians - and you will gain good fame for yourself.
Passion cannot be friends with deep love. If it can, then they will not be together for long.
Nobility is born through suffering, friend, to become a pearl - is it given to every drop? You can lose everything, save only your soul - the cup will be filled again, if only there was wine.
Those who have not sought the way are unlikely to be shown the way - knock and the doors to destiny will open!
From feigned love there is no quenching, No matter how much the rotten light shines, there is no burning. Day and night there is no peace for a lover, For months there is no moment of oblivion!
You, the Almighty, in my opinion, are greedy and old. You deal blow after blow to the slave. Paradise is the reward of the sinless for their obedience. Would you give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!
Saki! I admire the fleeting dawn, I rejoice in any carefree moments. If you haven't drunk all the wine during the night, pour it. “Today” is a glorious moment! And “tomorrow” will be... eternal.
Although a wise man is not a miser and does not accumulate goods, the world is bad for a wise man without silver. Under the fence the violet fades from beggary, And the rich rose is red and generous!
Don't complain about pain - that's the best medicine.
To grow a shoot of despondency in the soul is a crime.
Of those who have traversed the length and breadth of the world, of those whom the Creator doomed to search, has at least one found anything that we did not know and that was useful to us?
You’d rather starve than eat anything, and it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.
Everything we see is only one appearance. Far from the surface of the world to the bottom. Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant, for the secret essence of things is not visible.
Life is a desert, we wander through it naked. mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!
He is too zealous and shouts: “It’s me!” In the wallet, the little gold coin strums: “It’s me!” But as soon as he has time to get things going, Death knocks on the braggart’s window: “It’s me!”
You will say: this life is one moment. Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it. As you spend it, so it will pass, do not forget: she is your creation.
If a mill, a bathhouse, luxurious palace A fool and a scoundrel receive a gift, And a worthy one goes into bondage for bread - I don’t care about your justice, creator!
It is better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets at the table of scoundrels in power.
Until death we will become neither better nor worse. We are the way Allah created us!
Don’t share your secret with people, because you don’t know which of them is mean. As you yourself act with God’s creation, expect the same from people.
It is better to drink and caress cheerful beauties than to seek salvation in fasting and prayers. If there is a place in hell for lovers and drunkards, then who will you order to allow into heaven?
It's hard to understand God's plans, old man. This sky has neither top nor bottom. Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little: as long as the stage is at least a little visible!
IN God's temple don't let me in the door. I am an atheist. This is how God created me. I am like a harlot whose faith is a vice. Sinners would be glad to go to heaven, but they don’t know the roads.
Know: in the heat of love, you have to be icy. At a high-ranking feast, you have to be cool.
One will not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one - he will remember it forever. Sacrifice the life of another - he won’t understand...
Communicating with a fool will not bring you shame, so listen to Khayyam’s advice: accept the poison offered to you by the sage, but do not accept balm from the hands of a fool.
Man is the truth of the world, the crown, not everyone knows this, but only the sage.
In this perishable Universe, in due time, a person and a flower turn into dust, if the dust evaporated from under our feet, a bloody stream would flow from the sky to the ground.
Not appropriate good people to offend, it is not appropriate to growl like a predator in the desert. It’s not smart to boast about the wealth you’ve acquired, it’s not appropriate to honor yourself with titles!
He who from his youth believes in his own mind has become dry and gloomy in pursuit of the truth. He who claims from childhood to know life, without becoming a grape, has turned into a raisin.
If a vile person pours medicine for you, pour it out! If a wise man pours poison on you, accept it!
Wine is prohibited, but there are four “buts”:
It depends on who drinks wine, with whom, when and in moderation.
If these four conditions are met
Wine is allowed to all sane people.
Don't give a fool a drunken treat,
To protect yourself from feelings of disgust:
When he's drunk, he won't let you sleep with his screams,
And in the morning he’ll get tired of it, asking for forgiveness.
Don't look at how someone else is smarter than everyone else,
And see if he is true to his word.
If he doesn’t throw his words to the wind -
There is no price for him, as you yourself understand.
If you want, I’ll tell you how to look for treasure in life,
Amid the world's disasters, seek peace of mind:
You just need to not be distracted from the wine by anything,
Only pleasure to seek for the whole century in a row.
One's work is always shameful
Because own death can't be delayed
Since from above the path is indicated for mortals,
Since eternal things cannot be molded from wax -
There’s no point in crying about it, friends!
The greatness of the world is always in accordance with the greatness of the spirit looking at it. The good one finds his paradise here on earth, the evil one already has his hell here.
Some people are deceived by earthly life,
Some of them turn to a different life in their dreams.
Death is a wall. And in life no one will know
The highest truth hidden behind this wall.
Everything will pass - and the seed of hope will not sprout,
Everything you have accumulated will not be lost for a penny:
If you don't share with your friend on time -
All your property will go to the enemy
I am not afraid of death, I do not complain about fate,
I do not seek consolation in the hope of heaven.
An eternal soul, given to me for a short time,
I will return it in due time without complaint.
After all, it doesn’t matter at all what you die from,
After all, what is more important is why you were born.
The earth must crumble at the end of time.
I look into the future and see that she,
Short-lived, will not bear fruit for us...
Except for beautiful young faces and scarlet wine.
Until death we will become neither better nor worse.
We are the way Allah created us!
Nobility and meanness, courage and fear -
Everything is built into our bodies from birth.
If you don't share it with your friend on time -
All your wealth will go to the enemy.
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!
If I were given omnipotence -
I would have cast down such a sky long ago
And would erect another, reasonable sky
So that it loves only the worthy.
Everything we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.
You, Almighty, in my opinion, are greedy and old.
You deal blow after blow to the slave.
Paradise is the reward of the sinless for their obedience.
Would you give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!
You are not very generous, almighty Creator:
How many broken hearts are there in the world due to you!
There are so many ruby lips, musky curls
You, like a miser, hid it in a bottomless casket!
One will not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give bread to one - he will remember it forever. Sacrifice the life of another - don’t
will understand...
You can't look into tomorrow today,
Just the thought of him makes my chest feel painful.
Who knows how many days you have left to live?
Don't waste them, be prudent.
Water... I drank it once. She doesn't quench my thirst
There is no point in locking the door in front of the future,
There is no point in choosing between evil and good.
The sky throws blindly dice -
Everything that falls out must be lost in time!
Do not envy the one who is stronger and richer, after the dawn there is always a sunset, treat this short life, equal to a sigh, as if it were given to you.
for rent.
I would compare the world to a chessboard -
sometimes it’s day, sometimes it’s night, and you and I are pawns.
Moved quietly and beaten
and put it in a dark box to rest!
Mortals, do not mourn yesterday's losses... Today is today, do not measure tomorrow by the yardstick... Believe neither the past nor the future minute... Believe the minute
current - be happy now...
We change rivers, countries, cities. Other doors. New Years. But we can’t escape ourselves anywhere, and if we escape, we will only go nowhere.
God gives, God takes - that’s the whole story.
What's what remains a mystery to us.
How long to live, how much to drink - they measure
by eye, and even then they strive not to top it up every time.
I would like to mold my life from the smartest things
I didn’t think of it there, but I didn’t manage to do it here.
But Time is our efficient teacher!
As soon as you give me a slap on the head, you have become a little wiser.
The ocean, made of drops, is large.
The continent is made up of dust particles.
Your coming and going doesn't matter.
Just a fly flew into the window for a moment...
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!
Better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
How to become one of the despicable dishevelers.
It's better to gnaw on bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the scoundrels in power.
Be easier on people. Do you want to be wiser -
Don't hurt with your wisdom.
Have smaller friends, don't expand their circle.
And remember: better than close ones, a friend living far away.
Take a calm look at everyone who is sitting around.
In whom you saw support, you will suddenly see your enemy.
Communicating with a fool will not lead to shame.
Therefore, listen to Khayyam’s advice:
Take the poison offered to you by the sage,
Do not accept balm from the hands of a fool.
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 must be good with both friend and enemy! He who is good by nature will not find malice in him. If you offend a friend, you will make an enemy; if you hug an enemy, you will gain a friend.
In this unfaithful world, don’t be a fool: Don’t you dare rely on those around you. Look with a firm eye at your closest friend - A friend may turn out to be your worst enemy.
Mahmoud Farshchian (c)
No one can tell what roses smell like...
Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey...
If you give someone some change, they will remember it forever...
You give your life to someone, but he won’t understand...
Dear friends! The wisdom of life from talented people is always interesting, and the wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam is doubly interesting. Persian poet, philosopher, astrologer, mathematician... Omar Khayyam is famous in the mathematical world for creating a classification of cubic equations; his calendar, created several centuries ago, is superior from an astronomical point of view to the ancient Roman Julian calendar, and in accuracy to the European Gregorian calendar.
A lot can be said about Omar Khayyam, and I may decide to talk about the biography of this extraordinary man, but today’s post is about his literary heritage. Omar Khayyam became famous in our time, first of all, as the author of the famous wise quatrains - reflections - rubai. Rubai - bright, emotional, written with brilliant wit, at the same time musical and lyrical - have conquered the whole world. Much of the rubaiyat is reflection on the Koran. How many quatrains were written by the poet? Now there are about 1200. According to the Indian scientist and researcher of the work of the poet Swami Govinda Tirtha, up to 2,200 quatrains have survived in our time. In fact, no one knows how much was written, because over nine centuries many rubai have been lost forever.
Was there any wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam?
The controversy about the authorship of the Rubaiyat continues to this day. Some believe that Omar Khayyam has no more than 400 original texts, others are more strict - only 66, and some scientists claim - only 6 (those that were found in the most ancient manuscripts). Everything else, according to researchers of Khayyam’s work, all these wise sayings and poems are the authorship of other people. Perhaps the manuscripts that were passed down from generation to generation were accompanied by other people's quatrains, whose authorship was not established. Someone wrote down their own rubai in the margins, and centuries later they were considered missing insertions and included in the main text.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Perhaps the most laconic, daring, witty and elegant quatrains in all centuries were attributed to Omar Khayyam. Finding reliable rubai of Omar Khayyam is a hopeless task, since today the authorship of any quatrain is difficult to establish. Therefore, we will trust ancient and not very ancient manuscripts, we will read wise thoughts and find the quatrain to which our soul responds at the moment. And then say thank you to the author (regardless of who he is) and the translator.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Learn all the secrets of wisdom! - And there?…
Arrange the whole world in your own way! - And there?…
Live carefree until you are a hundred years old and happy...
You will miraculously last until two hundred!... - And there?
“Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam” by E. Fitzgerald
The wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam became known thanks to Edward Fitzgerald, who found a notebook with quatrains and first translated them into Latin language, and then - in 1859 - into English.
These poems amazed the English poet with their wisdom, deep philosophical overtones and at the same time lyricism and subtlety. “After several centuries, old man Khayyam continues to ring like real metal,” Edward Fitzgerald said admiringly. Fitzgerald's translation was arbitrary; in order to connect the quatrains, he made his own insertions, and ultimately created a poem similar to the tales of the Arabian Nights, main character which he constantly feasts on and periodically utters truths over the constant cup of wine.
Thanks to Fitzgerald, Omar Khayyam gained a reputation as a merry fellow, a jokester who loves wine and encourages seizing the moment of pleasure. But thanks to this poem, the whole world learned about the Persian poet, and aphorisms, poems, parables and other everyday wisdom were quoted throughout all countries. The most famous
To live your life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules remember for starters:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it’s better to be alone than with just anyone.
The lower man soul, the higher nose up.
He reaches with his nose to where his soul has not grown.
in the ears or tongues of many.
The appearance of the wise sayings of Omar Khayyam in Russia.
The first publication of Omar Khayyam in Russian appeared in 1891. The translator was the poet V.L. Velichko. He translated 52 quatrains. These were rather paraphrase translations, since the poet did not set himself the task of reproducing the original. A total of 5 sayings were made in the form of quatrains.
In general, more than 40 names are known in Russia who have translated Omar Khayyam. Some of the most famous are the translations of V. Derzhavin, A.V. Starostin, G. Plisetsky, N. Strizhkov, G.S. Semenov. I specifically focus on these names, because I give the quatrains below without indicating the name of the translator (I couldn’t find it, alas). Perhaps these poets are their authors. To date, more than 700 Khayyam rubai have been translated.
We have already said that translations reflect the essence of the translator, because everyone brings into the translation not only their own talent, but also their own understanding of quatrains (by the way, I “fell ill” with the topic of interlinear translation after, which simply stunned me with its conversation). Therefore, the same lines can be interpreted differently. I liked the comparative translation of this original text (interlinear) by Omar Khayyam.
Be cheerful, for there is no end to suffering in sight.
More than once will luminaries in the same zodiac sign come together in the heavens,
[representing the predestination of fate].
The bricks that will be molded from your ashes
Smash into the wall of a house for other people
Mahmoud Farshchian (c)
Compare!
Translation by C. Guerra (1901):
Surrender to joy! The torment will be eternal!
The days will change: day - night, day - night again;
The earthly hours are all small and fleeting,
And soon you will leave us from here.
You will mix with the earth, with lumps of sticky clay,
And the bricks will be covered with you at the stoves,
And they will build a palace for the lowly cattle,
And at that bookmark they will make a series of speeches.
And your spirit, perhaps, is a former shell
Back to yourself again, it will be in vain to call!
So sing and have fun while they give you a reprieve
And death has not yet come to visit you.
Translation by G. Plisetsky (1971):
Have some fun! The sad ones go crazy.
Eternal darkness shines with eternal stars.
How to get used to what is made of thinking flesh
Will the bricks be made and laid at home?
Unfortunately, I cannot list (due to the blog format) 13 more varieties of this translation. Some rubai have 1 translation, and some (the most popular) have up to 15!
But let's just read and enjoy these poetic lines, because we receive precious advice and instructions. Despite the fact that ten centuries separate his work from us, the wise thoughts of Omar Khayyam are still relevant and close to everyone. Indeed, in the quotes of Omar Khayyam about life, about love, about wisdom, the truth is revealed that all people of the world are looking for. Despite the fact (or maybe precisely because) that the statements of his poems are sometimes opposite and contradictory, his rubai captivate people of any age.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Young people, thanks to the wisdom of his poems, have the opportunity to avoid some mistakes. Young people just entering a big life learn worldly wisdom, because Omar Khayyam’s poems give answers to various life situations. Elderly people, who have already seen a lot and are themselves able to give advice for all occasions, find rich food for thought in his quatrains. They can compare their life wisdom with thoughts extraordinary person who lived a thousand years ago.
Behind the lines one can see the searching and inquisitive personality of the poet. He returns to the same thoughts throughout his life, revising them, discovering new possibilities or secrets of life.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
For many years I reflected on earthly life.
There is nothing incomprehensible to me under the sun.
I know that I know nothing, -
This is the last secret I have learned.
Quotes from Omar Khayyam are an opportunity to step away from the hustle and bustle and look into yourself. Even after a thousand years, the voice of Omar Khayyam carries a message of love, understanding of the transience of life and a careful attitude towards every moment of it. Omar Khayyam gives advice on how to succeed in business, how to raise children, how to live in love and peace with your husband, how to build relationships with people around you. These tips are given beautifully, gracefully and expressively. They captivate with their brevity and depth of thought. Every moment of life is priceless, the poet never tires of reminding us.
Osman Hamdy Bey (c)
Wisdom of life from Omar Khayyam
You will say this life is one moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
***
Everything is bought and sold,
And life openly laughs at us.
We are indignant, we are indignant,
But we buy and sell.
***
Don't share your secret with people,
After all, you don’t know which of them is mean.
What do you do with God's creation?
Expect the same from yourself and from people.
***
Don't let a scoundrel into your secrets - hide them,
And keep secrets from a fool - hide them,
Look at yourself among the people passing by,
Keep silent about your hopes until the end - hide them!
***
Everything we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the obvious in the world to be unimportant,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.
***
We change rivers, countries, cities...
Other doors... New Years...
And we can’t escape ourselves anywhere,
And if you go, you’ll go nowhere.
***
Hell and heaven are in heaven,” say the bigots.
I looked into myself and became convinced of the lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.
***

We don’t know if life will last until the morning...
So hurry up and sow the seeds of goodness!
And take care of love in this perishable world for your friends
Every moment is more than gold and silver.

We went to look for You, but we became an angry crowd:
And the poor, and the rich, and the generous, and the stingy.
You talk to everyone, none of us hears.
You appear before everyone, any of us is blind.
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.
With some of wise sayings We will meet 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 all dried up and withered.
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 it is always on the days of the vernal equinox.” fresh breeze will shower the flowers of the fruit branches." Twenty-four years later I visited Nishapur, where this great person, and asked to show me his grave. I was taken to the Khaira cemetery, and I saw a grave at the foot of the garden wall, overshadowed by pear and apricot trees and showered with flower petals so that she 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.”
