In this series of poems, I'll gather the great philosophical poet, known as Khayyam's poems
his poetry is simple, short and deep




In synagogue and cloister, mosque and school,
Hell's terrors and heaven's lures men's bosoms rule,
But they who master Allah's mysteries,
Sow not this empty chad their hearts to fool.

در صومعه و مدرسه و دير و كنشت
ترسنده دوزخند و جوياى بهشت
وانكس كه ز اسرار خدا باخبر است
زين تخم در اندرون دل هيچ نكشت
