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




Tis wrong, according to the strict Korán,
To drink in Rajab, likewise in Sha'bán,
God and the Prophet claim those months as theirs;
Was Ramazan then made for thirsty man?

گویند که می مخور به شعبان نه رواست
نه نیز رجب که آن مه خاص خداست
شعبان و رجب ، ماه خدایند و رسول
ما می رمضان خوریم ، کان خاصه ماست
