مهتاب [Liberation: Tasnif on Khayam Quatrain] [Mahtaab] [English translation]

Since no one can Tomorrow guarantee,

Enjoy the moment let your heart be free;

Ah, drink, my moon, in moonlight for the moon

Will make its rounds but won't find you and me! 1

.

.

I know not whether he who fashioned me appointed me to dwell in heaven or in dreadful hell

But some food, and an adored one, and wine, upon the green bank of a field— all these three are cash to me: thine be the credit-heaven!

.

.

A cloudburst came poured tears on the green

what is life without a cup of wine ...

this green is ours to enjoy today

who follows us in the meadow of our dust

.

1. Or "the moon will shine to find us

and find us not again"
