تنگي مي لعل خواهم و ديواني
سد رمقي بايد و نصف ناني
و انگه من و تو نشسته در و يراني

خوشتر بود از مملكت سلطاني

Ommar Khayyam (1048 - 1131) عمر خيام

و بحسبي تحت أغصانٍ رطاب

زقُ خمر و رغيف و كتاب

و تغنينَ , فيرتد اليباب

مثلَ همّي من فراديس رغاب

Translated into Arabic by
Ibrahim Al-Mazeni (1890 - 1949) إبراهيم المازني

Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse--and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness--
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

Translated into English by
Edward Fitzgerald (1809 - 1883)
