The famous Middle Eastern sage, known to the general public mainly only for his quatrains, showed his talents in astronomy, mathematics, music and astrology. His interests extended to opposite areas of science, from the humanities to techies.

Brief biography of Omar Khayyam...

Giyasaddin Abu-l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam Nishapuri- this is the full name of the world-famous quatrains (rubai) Omar Khayyam. However, in addition to quatrains, he also built a classification of cubic equations in algebra and gave their solutions using conic sections. In Iran, he is known for creating a calendar more accurate than the European one, which has been officially used since the 11th century.

Omar Khayyam was born in one of the cultural centers of ancient Iran - the city of Nishapuri. The date of his birth, 05/18/1048, was established quite recently. The years of his wanderings, in which his training took place, took place in different cities of Khorasan and Maverannahr - Nishapuri, Samarkand, Bukhara, Herat. Balkhi, Isfahan. In the Middle East, Omar Khayyam was primarily known as an outstanding scientist. In philosophy, Omar Khayyam considered himself a follower of Ibn Sina (Avicenna). And in general, his life and work is a constant search for truth.

The poetic gifts of the poet - rubaiyat (lyrical-philosophical quatrains) - were united by orientalists-translators in the collection "Rubaiyat", now known all over the world. The fundamentally new thing that Omar Khayyam brought to this traditional genre lies in the scientific and philosophical depth of the quatrain, which in his work is based on a rationalistic worldview basis. The great scientist and philosopher died on December 4, 1131 in the same city where he was born - Nishapur.

Four lines exude poison
When an evil epigram lives in them,
But the wounds of the heart are healed by Rubaiyat
- Quatrains of old Khayyam. S.Ya.Marshak

So...

The goal of the eternal movement of the worlds of the universe is us.
In the clear eye of the mind, the instantaneous pupil is we.
It looks like a bright ring flying circle of worlds.
On this fast ring there is an imperishable pattern - we are.

For the worthy - there are no worthy awards,
I put my stomach for a worthy glad.
Do you want to know if hellish torments exist?
To live among the unworthy is true hell!

The bull holds the Earth from time immemorial,
Taurus - above, behind the thickness of the clouds.
Look with the eyes of the mind - you will see
You are a bunch of donkeys between two bulls.

Close the Koran, look around freely.
And think for yourself... Always share the good
And do not remember evil. And in order to rise in soul -
Bend over to the fallen.

To please God, it is useful to suppress murmurings.
To please people, a flattering whisper is useful.
I often tried to be cunning and cunning,
But every time my fate put my experience to shame.

The prohibition of wine is a law that takes into account
Who drinks, and when, and how much, and with whom.
When all these conditions are met,
Drinking is a sign of wisdom, not vice at all.

In office of great gentlemen
There is no joy in life from a lot of worries.
But come on: they are full of contempt
To all whose souls the worm of acquisitiveness does not gnaw.

I asked the wisest: "What did you extract
From your manuscripts?" The wisest said:
"Happy is he who is in the arms of a tender beauty
At night, far from the wisdom of books!

Like wind in the steppe, like water in a river,
The day has passed and it will never come back.
Let's live, my friend, real!
Regret about the past is not worth the trouble.

A blooming garden, a friend and a bowl of wine -
Here is my paradise. I don't want to end up in something else.
Yes, no one has seen heavenly paradise!
So let's take comfort in earthly things for the time being.



You sing wine on the bank of a running stream,

It is shown not to drink to someone - maybe ...
Another - with whom, when and how many bowls to share ..
When four conditions are all met,
Reasonable men, of course, will drink.

I saw a builder who was building a house,
He trampled the clay with his feet and humiliated her.
And the clay said to him: "Easy! The hour is near -
Your nature will receive the same number of kicks!"

Let me burn for a hundred years in fire,
Hell, dreamed in a dream, is not terrible;
I am afraid of the chorus of ungrateful ignoramuses.
Conversation with them is worse than death to me.

We die once and for all.
It is not death that is terrible, but mortal suffering.
If this clay lump and a drop of blood
Disappear suddenly - no big deal.

Whose heart does not burn with passionate love for the sweet, -
Without consolation, he drags out his sad age.
Days spent without the joys of love
I consider it an unnecessary and hateful burden.

Live, fool! Spend while rich!
After all, you yourself are not a precious treasure
And do not dream: thieves will not conspire
Pull you back from the coffin.

Wine is not only a friend - wine is a sage:
With him disagreements, heresies - the end!
Wine - alchemist: transforms at once
Life lead into golden dust.

Glitter diadem, silk turban -
I will give everything - and your power, Sultan,
I'll give the saint - with a rosary in addition -
For the sounds of the flute and ... another glass!

You have no control over tomorrow today.
Your plans will be shattered by sleep tomorrow!
You live today if you are not insane.
You are not eternal, like everything in this earthly world.

On roses, the sparkle of New Year's dew is beautiful.
Beloved - the best creation of the Lord - is beautiful.
Should I regret the past, should the wise man scold him?
Let's forget yesterday! After all, our today is wonderful.

All who are old and who are young, who now live,
One by one they will be led into the darkness.
Life is not given forever. How they left before us
We will leave; and for us - they will come and go.

Someone wise suggested to me who dozed off:
"Wake up, you won't be happy in your sleep.
Give up this occupation, like death.
After death, Khayyam, you will sleep completely!

For a hundred years I lived without knowing sin,
The grace of the Lord is upon me;
I want to live on, sinning, -
Test his patience.

They say that drunkards will go to hell.
All nonsense! If the drinkers were sent to hell
Yes, all women lovers go there after them,
Empty as a palm, our garden of paradise would become.

What for common happiness to suffer to no avail -
It is better to give happiness to someone close.
It is better to tie a friend to yourself with kindness,
How to free humanity from the fetters.

From the arrows that throw death, we can not find a shield:
And with the beggar and with the king, she is equally cool.
To live with pleasure, live for pleasure,
Everything else - believe me! - just a hassle.

The life-giving spring is hidden in the bud of your lips,
Let someone else's cup never touch your lips...
The jug that keeps a trace of them, I will drain to the bottom.
Wine can replace everything ... Everything except your lips!

O sage! If God gave you a rental
Musician, wine, stream and sunset -
Do not grow crazy desires in your heart.
If all this is - you are immensely rich!

We are only dolls, rock spins us, -
Do not doubt the truth of these lines.
They will let us tumble and hide
In the casket of non-existence, only the term will come out.

Life apart from the intoxicating vine is nothing,
Life apart from the melodious string is nothing.
No matter how much I delve into things under the moon,
Pleasure is everything, the rest is nothing!

Fools consider me a sage.
God knows I'm not what they think I am.
About myself and about the world I know no more
Those fools who diligently read me.

Do not waste yourself, oh friend, on grief,
On the stones of hardships, on long-suffering.
Not knowing tomorrow, every moment
Give away guilt, love and pleasure!

What fate decided to give you
It cannot be increased or subtracted.
Don't worry about what you don't own
And from what is, to become free.

You beware of the treachery of the fleeing skies.
You have no friends, and do not know enemies.
Don't rely on tomorrow, live today.
Try to be yourself for a moment.

O fate! You assert violence in everything yourself.
Your oppression is boundless, like the darkness that gave birth to you.
You give good to the vile, and sorrow to noble hearts.
Or are you incapable of goodness, or have you gone mad?

If the truth in the world is conditional, why destroy the heart,
You indulge in sorrow, loving your suffering.
Reconcile with what is, O sage. That which is eternal kalam
Destined for everyone, won't change for you.

Why accumulate goodness in the desert of being?
Who has always lived among us? I didn't see those.
After all, life is given to us in debt, and then - for a short period,
And what is given in debt is not your property.

In vain do you blame rock for inconstancy;
What is not in the loser you, you are unaware.
If he were constant in his graces,
You could wait your turn until death.

Are you rewarded? Forget it!
Days rush by in a row? Forget it!
Careless wind, in the eternal book of life
Could move the wrong page.

The world is a moment, and I am in it - one moment.
How many breaths am I destined to take in a moment?
Be cheerful, live!
This mortal building is not given to anyone forever.

Egypt, Rome, China keep you under the heel,
Be the ruler of the world - your final destiny
Nothing will differ from mine:
Three cubits of a shroud and an inch of damp earth.

Have some fun! Everything in the world is fleeting, my friend.
The spirit will part with the body forever, my friend.
These bowls of heads that we wear so proudly
They will hop on the pots carelessly, my friend.

Know only people worthy of friendship,
Do not know scoundrels, do not shame yourself.
If a vile medicine pours you - pour it out!
If a wise man gives you poison, take it!

Do not be afraid, friend, today's adversity!
Rest assured, time will erase them.
There is a minute, give it to fun,
And what comes next, let it come!

Since death will not give me mercy anyway -
Let the butler give me a cup of wine!
Since life is short in this temporary world,
Sorrow for a mortal heart is an unnecessary ballast.

Into this world we will hardly get again,
We won't find our friends again.
Seize the moment! 'Cause it won't happen again
How do you not repeat yourself in it.

If you can, do not worry about the running time,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you're alive
After all, all the same, in that world you will appear poor.

Do not furrow your brows because of the blows of fate.
The one who is discouraged dies prematurely.
Neither you nor I have power over fate.
Be wiser to deal with it. More use!

Be joyful, do not be sad in vain,
Be right on the wrong path.
And if in the end - nothing, drop the pack of worries,
To make your path easy to follow.

Friend, two concepts you should confirm:
This is more reasonable than arguing, listening, talking! -
It's better to eat nothing than to eat anything,
It's better to be alone than to be friends with just anyone.

Do not change what the kalam has drawn.
We cannot increase our destiny.
Do not expose yourself to longing and regrets.
From them vain torment to the hearts.

Don't complain! Not forever a vale of sorrows,
And there is in centuries the limit of the entire universe.
Your ashes will go to bricks and become
The wall of the house of future people.

All that you have studied in the world is nothing,
All that I heard and said is nothing,
And all that the witness was - nothing,
Everything that I bought so expensive is nothing.

Life is either sherbet on ice, or else it is the sludge of wine.
Mortal flesh in brocade, dressed in rags -
All this to the wise man, believe me, it doesn't matter,
But it is bitter to realize that life is doomed.

In the abode of two doors, what, mortal, are you enriched by?
You, having tormented your heart in torment, are doomed to parting.
Only the one who did not come into this world is truly blessed.
Blessed is he who is not born at all for life by an earthly mother.

Do not be careless at the crossroads of days
And know: fate is worse than a robber.
Fate treats you with halva, -
Do not eat: deadly poison in her halvah!




How long should I grieve about what has long been decided,
And is it good for me to live my life given by fate?
Will I exhale this breath or not - and I myself do not know
Well, then pour pure wine into this cup for me!

If in our time the mind is both useless and harmful
And fate gives all the gifts to the ignorant and unreasonable,
Give me the cup that steals my mind; let me get stupid
And fate, perhaps, will turn a favorable look on me.

When I was the creator - the lord of the universe,
I would overthrow the ancient sky from the base
And he created a new one - one under which
All good wishes would be fulfilled instantly.

Say: who has not covered himself with sins,
You, glorified by good deeds?
I do evil, you repay me with evil, -
Tell me: what is the difference between us?

You tame greed, live by yourself,
Show contempt for the affairs of fate!
Your five-day age will rush quickly
Indulge in guilt, songs and love!

You, the account leading all earthly affairs, -
Among the ignorant, be wise, be dumb,
To save eyes, tongue and ears,
Pretend here dumb, blind, deaf.

Who we are - Dolls on strings, and our puppeteer is the firmament
He leads his performance in a big booth.
He is now on the carpet of life will make us jump,
And then he will remove one by one into his chest.

You teach: "Faithful in heaven holy
Gouris will get drunk with caress and wine"
What is the sin now in love and drunkenness,
When will we eventually come to that?

Don't share your secrets with people.
After all, you do not know which of them is mean.
How do you deal with God's creation,
Expect the same from yourself and from people.

Why torment yourself and bother,
Why wish for too much.
What is meant to be will be with us.
Nothing less and nothing more we can take.

To those who carry news of the unknown,
Who went around the whole world - honor and honor.
But do they know more than we do?
About the world - about such what it is?

For those to whom the knowledge of secrets is given,
Both joy and sadness - is it all the same?
But if good and evil pass without a trace,
Cry if you want - or drink wine.

A small drop of water merged with a wave of the sea.
A small handful of earth mixed with the dust of the earth.
What does your coming into this world and what does your leaving mean?
Where is all this midge that pushed and rang in the spring?

I'm sick, spiritual illness torments my body,
Refusal of wine truly threatens me with death.
And it is strange that no matter how much I did not drink medicines and balms -
Everything is bad for me! Only one wine does not harm.

Let there be a flaw in our knowledge, deceit in postulates.
Full of languishing, we will disperse the fogs of doubt!
Let's fill a wide cup with wine,
Let's drink and be merry - neither sober nor drunk.

Do not be afraid of the wiles of the running time.
Our troubles in the circle of existence are not eternal.
Spend the moment given to us in fun,
Do not cry about the past, do not fear the future.

According to the book of life, I wondered about fate.
The sage, hiding the grief of the soul in himself,
Said: "With you - the moon in the night, like a month, long
Have fun with her! What else are you looking for?"

In our vile age, any friend is unfaithful.
Stay away from the crowd of people.
The one on whom you relied in life -
Take a better look - the enemy is in front of you.

For a moment, a moment - and life will flash by.
Let this moment sparkle with fun!
Beware, for life is the essence of creation,
As you spend it, so it will pass.

For many years I pondered over earthly life.
There is nothing incomprehensible for me under the moon.
I know that I don't know anything! -
Here is the last truth I discovered

It is known that in the world everything is just vanity of vanities:
Be cheerful, do not grieve, there is light on this.
What was, is past, what will be - is unknown, -
So don't worry about what's not there today.

Throw off the burden of self-interest, oppression of vanity,
Evil entangled, break out of these snares.
Drink wine and comb your curls dear:
The day will pass unnoticed - and life will flash by.

Of all those who have gone on an endless journey
Has anyone returned here?
So in this old caravanserai,
Look, don't forget something.

It is better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
Than to get into the number of despicable dishes.
It is better to gnaw bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the bastards who have power.

How tired I am of unbearable bigots!
Give me wine, saki, and here's what: lay
My turban in the tavern and my prayer rug:
Not only in words I am the enemy of all these lies.

Think less about the evil of our fate,
From morning to evening, do not part with the cup,
Sit down to the forbidden daughter of the vine - she
More beautiful than his permitted parent.

Where are the hosts who feasted here before us?
Where are the roses of the scarlet lips, the daffodils of the eyes?
Hurry before the flesh turns to dust
As your dust was flesh a hundred times before.

Do not let longing boil in your chest,
So that the thought of the violence of fate owned you.
You drink wine on the bank of a running stream,
Feast until your earth swallows up your body.

Be cheerful in these moments in which you live,
Love the moon-faced beauties, whose camp is similar to that of the cypress.
As long as you are not here forever, try to become perfect
And rejoice if you find perfect friends in the world.

Alas, we are not given many days to be here,
To live them without love and without wine is a sin.
Do not think, this world is old or young:
If we are destined to leave - do we care?

Everything will pass - and the grain of hope will not rise,
All that you have accumulated will be lost for a penny.
If you do not share in time with a friend -
All your property will go to the enemy.

You will be in the company of proud learned donkeys,
Try to pretend to be a donkey without words,
For everyone who is not an ass, these fools
Accused immediately of undermining the foundations.

Since the truth is always out of hand -
Do not try to understand the incomprehensible, friend.
Take the cup in your hands, stay ignorant,
There is no point, believe me, in the study of science.

Everything that is in the world is impermanent,
In addition, the flaws in what is, do not count.
Consider everything that you do not see to be,
And ghostly everything that you see here.

Grieve about what? Is it all the same to me
Whether it is given to me to live in need, in the hall.
I'll fill the cup! After all, every breath
Perhaps it is destined to be the last.

If there is a beauty, wine and changa ringing
And the bank over the stream is autumnal with branches,
No need for better, let the world be called hell.
And if there is Eden, believe me, it is no better!

Since our mind is at a low price,
Since only a fool is completely serene -
I'll drown the rest of my mind in wine:
Maybe fate will smile on me too!

The sheikh shamed the harlot: "You, dissolute, drink,
You sell your body to everyone who wants it!"
"I," said the harlot, "really am
Are you who you say you are to me?"

We fell into this world like a sparrow into a snare.
We are full of anxiety, hopes and sorrows.
Into this round cage with no doors
We got with you not by our own will.

On the day when they saddled the sky steed,
When the constellations were given their names,
When all our destinies were written in the tablets, -
We became submissive. Not our fault.

How gently the breeze kisses the cheeks of the rose!
How bright is the face of a friend, and the meadow, and the stream!
Don't talk about the past: what's the use of it now?
Be happy for real. Look what a day!

From godlessness to God - one moment.
From zero to total - one moment.
Take care of this precious moment:
Life - neither less nor more - one moment!

Alas, the firmament is not favorable!
Whatever you want - the opposite is true.
The Lord does not bestow what is permitted,
Forbidden - and the devil does not give.

Drink boldly, friends! At the hour of joyful pleasures
The flute, hymns with potion and laughter will delight us,
As for Judgment Day, it doesn't seem to be tomorrow.
Perhaps our little sin will be forgotten?...

It is better to drink and caress cheerful beauties,
Than to look for salvation in fasting and prayers.
If a place in hell is for lovers and drunkards,
Then who will you order to admit to paradise?

Do not grieve that your name will be forgotten.
Let the intoxicating drink comfort you.
Before your joints fall apart -
Comfort yourself with your beloved by caressing her.

There are no husbands left to respect,
Only wine continues to please me.
Don't take your hand off the jug handle,
If in old age there is no one to shake hands with.

Fill the ocean with rocks
They want saints - a hopeless plan!
Frightened by hell, seduced by heaven...
And where are the messengers from these distant countries?

Until fate took over us
Let's pour wine and drink in a good hour!
The starry dome circles inexorably,
You look, water - and that will not give a sip.

I came into this world under compulsion,
Met with bewilderment every day I
And now expelled, never understanding
Disappearance of the meaning and purpose of birth.

The circle of heaven blinds us with its brilliance.
We see neither the end nor the beginning of it.
This circle is inaccessible to our logic,
The measure of our mind is immeasurable.

You, whose villainy has no end in sight,
On the Day of Judgment, do not rely on the mercy of the creator!
God, who forgave those who did not do a good deed,
He will not forgive the scoundrel who did evil.

How do you know, friend, what awaits us tomorrow.
On a moonlit night, let's forget the day of worries.
Drink some wine, it's not once
The moon will rise, but it won't find us.

When they snatch an escape without pity,
When the body turns to dust forever -
Let them make a jug from this ashes
And they will fill it with wine: a man will come to life!

Life will fly by like one moment
Appreciate her, take pleasure in her.
How you spend it - so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

Have fewer friends these days, simpleton,
Be stingy with confessions, do not listen to flattering lies.
And look wisely - and you will see immediately:
The one you trusted is your traitor, your enemy!

There is no point in constantly bothering yourself,
To earn grace here on earth.
What you're destined for is what you'll get
And no more, no less. And there is nothing to wait!

I am doomed to suffer until the end of my days,
You are having more fun every day.
Watch out! Do not rely on fate:
She has a lot of cunning tricks in store.

Give free rein to all heart movements,
Do not get tired of cultivating the garden of desires,
On a starry night, bliss on silk grass:
Lie down at sunset, rise at dawn.

In this world of fools, scoundrels, traders
Shut your ears, wise one, shut your mouth securely,
Close your eyelids tightly - just think a little
About the safety of eyes, tongue and ears!

He who from youth believes in his own mind,
He became dry and gloomy in pursuit of truth.
Claiming from childhood to the knowledge of life,
Not becoming a grape, it turned into a raisin.

Oh, woe, woe to the heart, where there is no burning passion.
Where there is no love of torment, where there are no dreams of happiness.
A day without love is lost: dimmer and grey,
Than this day is barren, and there are no days of bad weather,

If you seek pleasure all your life:
Drink wine, listen to chang and caress beauties -
You still have to let go of this.
Life is like a dream. But don't sleep forever!

Love is a fatal misfortune, but the misfortune is by the will of Allah.
Well, you condemn what is always - by the will of Allah.
A series of evil and good arose - by the will of Allah.
Why do we need the thunders and flames of the Judgment - by the will of Allah?

Merciless fate, crushing our plans,
The hour will come and the soul will leave the body.
Take your time, sit on the grass, under which
Soon you will lie down, not hurrying anywhere.

Mercy, my heart, do not seek,
Truth in a world where lies are valued - do not look.
There is still no cure for sorrow in this world.
Reconcile - and do not look for medicines for it.

We come sinless - and we sin,
We come merry - and mourn.
We burn the heart with bitter tears
And we descend into dust, dispelling life like smoke.

Sacrifice yourself for the sake of your beloved
Sacrifice what is most dear to you.
Never be cunning, bestowing love,
Sacrifice your life, be courageous, ruining your heart!

From the spinning of the potter's wheel of time
The meaning was extracted only by those who are learned and smart,
Or drunk, accustomed to the rotation of the world,
Nothing at all thinking in it!

Khayyam! What are you grieving about? Be merry!
You are feasting with a friend - be cheerful!
Everyone is waiting for non-existence. You could disappear
You still exist - be cheerful!

"We are made of clay, - the lips of the jug told me, -
But even in us blood was beating brighter than a ruby ​​...
Your turn is ahead. The fate of mortals is one.
All that is alive now, tomorrow - ashes and clay."

We did not need food and sleep at all,
Until we were blinded from the four elements.
But everything that was given to us will be taken away unconditionally,
And we will again become a pinch of gray dust.

Yesterday I watched the circle turn
How calmly, not remembering ranks and merits,
The potter sculpts a cup from heads and from hands,
Of the great kings and the last drunkards.

Whose flesh, tell me, jug, has become you?
A singer in love, like me, used to be?
And the clay pen, you know, was
The hand that wrapped around your sweet neck?

I heard: under the blows of the potter
Clay began to give out its secrets:
"Don't trample on me!" the clay told him.
I was a human only yesterday."

Life is instantaneous, driven by the wind, has passed,
Past, past, like a cloud of smoke, passed.
Let me take a sip of grief, without taking a sip of pleasure, -
It is a pity for the life that passed by.

In the morning the rose opened a bud under the wind,
And the nightingale sang, in love with her charm.
Sit in the shade. These roses will bloom for a long time,
When will our sorrowful ashes be buried.

Give me wine! There is no place for empty words here.
Kisses of my beloved are my bread and balm.
The lips of an ardent lover are wine-colored,
A riot of passion is like her hair.

Come quickly, filled with charms,
Dispel sadness, inhale heart heat!
Pour a jug of wine until the jugs
Our ashes have not yet been turned by the potter.

Above all else, love.
In the song of youth, the first word is love.
O ignorant wretch in the world of love,
Know that the basis of our whole life is love!

The hand holds the bowl, and the other is the Koran:
Now I pray until I drop, then I'm drunk to death.
As soon as the turquoise marble vault tolerates us -
Not kafirs at all, not quite Muslims.

There is little peace, hardships cannot be overcome,
Worries are growing, it's getting darker to live ...
Praise be to the creator that we have enough troubles:
At least you don't have to ask for anything.

Oh, if only, taking a sofa with poetry,
Yes, in a jug of wine and putting bread in your pocket,
I'll spend a day with you among the ruins -
Any sultan would envy me.

I have a sober day - a barrier to joy
And hops cloud the mind, what an annoyance!
Between sobriety and hop state -
Here is the incomparable joy of the heart!

When violets pour fragrance
And the wind blows the breath of spring,
A wise man who drinks wine with his beloved,
Having broken the cup of repentance on the stone.

Freely for a moment we live in the world.
Do not grieve that rock sets nets for us,
For our bodies are the basis:
A spark, a drop, light dust and wind.

Constellations in the sky
Thoughts in vain doomed many.
Think again, save your mind -
The wisest and those have reached a dead end.

A certain circle concluded our coming and going,
No one can find an end or a beginning in it.
And no one has yet been able to tell us correctly:
Where did we come from? What awaits us beyond the coffin?

The vault of heaven threatens us with misfortune - you and me,
And we must wait for separation from the soul - you and me,
Lie down on the soft turf! Destined in the grave
Feed all these roots with yourself - you and me.

They will call me drunk - indeed so!
A wicked, a troublemaker - indeed so!
I am who I am. And talk to yourself what you want:
I will remain Khayyam. Indeed so!

Give me a jug of wine and a cup, my love,
We will sit in the meadow with you and on the bank of the stream!
The sky is full of beauties, from the beginning of being,
Turned, my friend, into bowls and jugs - I know.

And I, gray-bearded, fell into the snare of love.
And now a sparkling glass sparkles in your hand!
Reason patient sewed me a robe of merit.
And my whimsical fate tore everything to shreds.

May the wine be with you!
Drink with any friend from any cup
Grape blood, for in black clay
Turns people sky blue.

The jug that today waters the poor,
The proud heart of the king was in other centuries.
From ruby ​​lips and snow-white cheeks
A goblet is made that the drunkard's hand holds.

For loving you, let everyone condemn around,
I have no time to argue with the ignorant, believe me.
Only husbands are healed by a love drink,
And to hypocrites, he brings a serious illness.

There is no heaven or hell, O my heart!
There is no return from the darkness, O my heart!
And do not hope, O my heart!
And there is no need to be afraid, O my heart!

Oh heaven, you do not have a soul in scoundrels!
Palaces and mills and baths are in their hands;
And the honest one asks for a piece of stale cake as a loan,
Oh heaven, I would spit on you in my heart!



Life has been given to me.
I will return willingly, When it is time to return.

How long do you break your hearts because of life's troubles?
You can hardly carry your sadness to the end.
Alas! Your affairs and mine are not in our hands,
And here to submit to fate is not better for a sage?

We do not understand the riddles of eternity - neither you nor I.
We can't read obscure writings - neither you nor I.
We argue before some veil. But the hour will strike
The veil will fall, and neither you nor I will survive.

Can't we find a place to rest here?
Or forever go this endless way?
Oh, if only I could hope that in a thousand years
From the belly of the earth we will again, like grass, sprout!

How the rooster crowed at dawn!
He clearly saw - the fire of the stars went out.
And the night, like your life, was in vain,
And you overslept and do not know - deaf.

Drink with wise golden-speaking old age,
Drink with youth smilingly beautiful.
Drink, friend, but do not shout about what you drink,
Drink occasionally and secretly - in a happy moment.

You do not become a slave to worldly goods,
Break the connection with fate - with good and evil.
Be cheerful at this moment. After all, the dome of the stars -
He will collapse too. Don't forget about that.

If you want to rest in blessed bliss
And at your feet to see this haughty world,
Convert to my faith, learn from me, -
Drink wine, but don't drink this bitterness of the universe!

The sky whispered to me secretly in a moment of prophetic insight:
"The decrees of the wrathful fates, do you think my decrees?
Whenever I was powerful in all the deeds of being,
I would have stopped my aimless whirling long ago!"

How long will you bow your head before the low?
Why are you circling like a fly over free food?
Eat one cake, obtained by labor, in two days!
It is better to feed on the blood of the heart than to eat someone else's bread.

Peace and life, and luminaries and constellations movement
I compared it to the lamp of the imagination.
The world is a lamp, and the sun in it is a kindled flax,
We are in it - the shadows of the restless image.

Satisfied crow with a bone for lunch,
Well you are a hanger-on of the low for so many years
Truly, your own barley bread is better,
Than at the feast of the despicable - sherbet.

Kohl on Degas you have one cake
And you are able to bring yourself a jug of water,
What a need to obey you contemptible.
And to please the low, losing your honor?

No one has defeated the threatening power of the sky
And he was never satisfied with the gifts of bread.
You boast early that you are safe and sound, -
They will eat you when the need comes.

Everything will disappear. You look, there is only one wind in your hands.
Everything that exists is doomed to destruction and decay.
Consider that what exists now does not exist on earth,
There is something that is gone forever and that has not yet been born.

Before you could not sleep, not drink, not be satisfied,
The elements made you need it.
But everything that was given will be taken from you again,
So that you can remain free, as before.

The soul that endured suffering, freedom is gained.
Let the drop languish in the dungeon - it becomes a pearl.
Do not cry: if you are ruined, wealth will still return,
Let the cup be emptied - again it will be full.

I'm exhausted, crying without drying my eyes,
And you are drowning in pleasures, you are joyful at this hour.
But don't be proud of me! - Rotation of the sky
There is a lot of unexpected things behind the dark veil from us.

The one who made friends with cute beauties with a smile,
Who put suffering into a grieving heart,
If happiness did not give us - do not grumble, do not cry,
For many he even deprived of hope.

The sea of ​​this life has arisen from hidden forces,
No one has drilled the pearl of revealing the secret yet.
Each century has its own sense - according to knowledge and understanding.
No one has yet explained the true essence of creation.

When I plucked the fruit of hope, O life, from your branches,
That, right, would have found the thread of the ball of his fate
How long to shout about the tightness of the dungeon of being,
To languish and not find doors to non-existence?

To be in the eyes not water, but tears are destined,
Patience should be a friend to grief.
Or life should be long to the extent of suffering,
Or it should be short to the best of life.

Sometimes someone goes ahead, I brazenly shout: -
It's me! It boasts of wealth, rings with silver and glitters with gold -
It's me! But only affairs will set in order - and noble, you see, and rich
As death rises from an ambush and says - It's me!

It was not from poverty that I decided to forget the wine,
Not in fear that they will start scolding a reveler.
I drank for fun. Well, now for something else:
You are in my heart, and I do not need to drink.

I can't cover the sun with roses,
I can't reveal the secret of fate with words.
From the depths of my thoughts I fished out pearls,
But I can't drill it out of fear.

The sky is heaping up the mountain of suffering,
As soon as one is born, the other is killed.
But the unborn would not be born,
If only he knew what was in store for him.

Blessed is he who in our days has tasted freedom,
Bypassing grief, tears and adversity;
I was pleased with everything that Yazdan sent,
Lived with a pure heart, drank wine - not water.

Caravans go on a long journey, bells ring.
Who told about the troubles that lie ahead of us on the way?
Watch out! In this old discount, greed and need
Don't drop anything, for you won't come back.

I came from heaven or hell - I don’t know about myself,
I live the way I am - it was fate that way.
A full goblet, an idol and a barat * in a flowering meadow by the stream;
These three - in cash to me, the promised paradise - in debt to you.

Who wrote the word of reason on the heart,
He didn't waste a single moment.
He tried to gain the mercy of the Eternal with labor -
Or found the peace of the soul behind the cup.

You ruined earthly days for the sake of worldly blessings,
But remember the day of Judgment, look at your life.
After all, many before you were ruined by acquisitiveness.
And what happened to them? Where are they all now?

My spirit is completely fed up with wanderings,
But I have no money in the treasury, as before.
I don't grumble at life. Even though it was difficult
Wine and beauty still smiled at me.

Before experiencing the vicissitudes in full,
Let's drink a ratl of wine today.
What does the rotation of the sky promise us tomorrow?
Perhaps water will not be given to us.

Hey, mufti, look... We are smarter and more efficient than you.
No matter how drunk we are in the morning, we are still more sober than you.
We drink the blood of the vine, but you are the blood of your neighbors;
Judge for yourself which of us is more bloodthirsty and meaner than you.

The fire of my passion is high before you - so be it!
In my hands - bunches of fiery juice - so be it!
You tell me: "Repent, and you will be forgiven."
And if I'm not forgiven, be what will happen to me! - so be it!

We were a drop from the heat of passion
Appeared in the world - not by our power,
And if tomorrow the whirlwind dispels us,
Find at least in the cup a wine reflection of happiness.

You got half the bread for food,
You were warmed by a poor dwelling,
You are nobody's slave and nobody's master,
You are truly lucky, my friend!

It's like you were friends with me at first,
But then suddenly decided to be at enmity with me,
I did not despair that fate turned away:
Suddenly, will you still be nice to me?

When you comprehend life, then from the darkness
And death would reveal its features to you.
Now you're on your own, and you don't know anything, -
What will you know when you leave yourself?

You foolishly let your life go to the wind,
You lost sight of your death, ignoramus.
You calculated the events two hundred years ahead,
But he did not ask fate for a reprieve.

You, who let your dear life go to the wind
And with death was sometimes irreverent,
You calculated your path two hundred years in advance,
But he did not ask fate for an hour's delay.

I am ready to meet death without fear.
Wouldn't it be better there than here - who knows?
Life has been given to me. I will gladly return
When it's time to return.

Instantly He is visible, more often hidden.
We are watching our lives closely.
God spends eternity with our drama!
He composes, puts and looks.

Hypocrites who boast of life saint,
The line is placed between the body and the eternal soul.
I will put a full goblet of wine on the crown of my head,
Even if they cut my crown with a saw.

Let you live your life without heavy torment - what's next?
Let your life close the circle - what's next?
Let, blissful, you live a hundred years
And a hundred more years - tell me, my friend, what's next?

Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?

Why do you expect benefit from your wisdom?
You will soon wait for milk from the goat.
pretend to be a fool and more benefit will,
And wisdom these days is cheaper than leeks.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Noble people, loving each other,
They see the grief of others, they forget themselves.
If you desire the honor and brilliance of mirrors, -
Do not envy others, and they will love you.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Nobility and meanness, courage and fear -
Everything is built into our bodies from birth.
We will not get better or worse until we die.
We are who God made us!

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Brother, do not demand riches - they are not enough for everyone.
Do not look with the gloating of a saint on sin.
There is a God over mortals. What's up with the neighbor
Then there are even more holes in your dressing gown.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Don't look to the future
Be glad for a moment of happiness today.
After all, tomorrow, friend, we will be considered death
With the departed seven thousand years ago.

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

You will be in the company of proud learned donkeys,
Try to pretend to be a donkey without words,
For everyone who is not an ass, these fools
Accused immediately of undermining the foundations.

Giyasaddin Abu-l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam Nishapuri is the full name of the person who is better known to us as Omar Khayyam.
This Persian poet, mathematician, philosopher, astrologer, astronomer is known all over the world thanks to his rubai quatrains, which delight with their wisdom, cunning, audacity and humor. His poems are simply a storehouse of the eternal wisdom of life, which were relevant during the life of the poet (1048 - 1131), and have not lost their relevance today. We invite you to read poetry and Omar Khayyam quotes and enjoy their content.

Having endured hardships, you will become a free bird.
And the drop will become a pearl in the pearl-dungeon.
Give away your wealth and it will come back to you.
If the cup is empty, they will give you a drink.

Only those who are worse than us think badly of us,
and those who are better than us ... They are simply not up to us

Hell and heaven in heaven claim bigots;
I looked into myself - I was convinced of a lie.
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe;
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.

If you become a slave to base lust, -
You will be empty in old age, like an abandoned house.
Look at yourself and think about
Who are you, where are you and - where then?

We are a source of fun - and a mine of sorrow,
We are a reservoir of filth - and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant - and he is immensely great!

Life is forced upon us; her whirlpool
Stuns us, but one moment - and now
It's time to leave, not knowing the purpose of life ...
The arrival is meaningless, the meaningless departure!


Dawn is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a sigh,
Treat as with this one for rent.

Who was beaten by life, he will achieve more,
Having eaten a pood of salt, he appreciates honey more.
Who shed tears, he sincerely laughs,
Who died, he knows that he lives.

Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are angry, we are angry
But we sell and buy.

If you can, do not worry about the running time,
Do not burden your soul with the past or the future.
Spend your treasures while you are alive;
After all, all the same, in that world you will appear poor.

Omar Khayyam was a great man! Always admired his deep knowledge of the human soul! His words are relevant to this day! Looks like people haven't changed much since that time!

The scientist wrote his rubai all his life. He drank little wine, but describes his great wisdom. We don't know anything about him personal life but it subtly describes love.

The wise sayings of Omar Khayyam make us forget about all the fuss and at least for a moment think about great values. We offer you the best Omar Khayyam quotes about love and life:

About life

1. One does not understand what roses smell like. Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey. Give someone a trifle, forever remember. You will give your life to someone, but he will not understand.

2. Whoever is beaten by life will achieve more. A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more. Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs. Who died, he knows that he lives!

3. The lower the soul of a person, the higher the nose turns up. He reaches with his nose where his soul has not matured.

4. Two people were looking at the same window. One saw rain and mud. The other is green foliage, spring and blue sky.

5. How often, making mistakes in life, we lose those we value. Trying to please strangers, sometimes we run from our neighbor.

We lift up those who are not worth us, but we betray the most faithful. Who loves us so much, we offend, and we ourselves are waiting for an apology.

6. We are a mine of joy and sorrow. We are a reservoir of filth and a pure spring. Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces. He is insignificant and he is immensely great!

7. We will never get into this world again, we will never meet friends at the table. Catch every flying moment - you can never lie in wait for it later.

8. With this short life, equal to a breath. Treat as with this one for rent.

9. Do not envy the one who is strong and rich, sunset always follows the dawn.

About love

10. Giving yourself does not mean selling. And next to sleep - does not mean to sleep. Not to take revenge does not mean to forgive everything. Not to be near does not mean not to love!

11. Woe, woe to the heart, where there is no burning passion. Where there is no love of torment, where there are no dreams of happiness. A day without love is lost: dimmer and grayer than this barren day, and there are no days of bad weather.

12. In order to live life wisely, you need to know a lot. Two important rules remember for a start: you'd rather starve than eat anything, and it's better to be alone than with just anyone.

13. In a loved one, even flaws are liked, and in an unloved person, even virtues annoy.

14. 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.

15. A plucked flower should be presented, a poem begun should be completed, and the beloved woman should be happy, otherwise it was not worth taking on something that is beyond your power.

Life will fly by like one moment
Appreciate her, take pleasure in her.
How you spend it - so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.

Do not forget that you are not alone: ​​in the most difficult moments, God is with you

The fact that God once measured us, friends,
You can't increase it and you can't decrease it.
Trying to make the most of the cash
Don’t worry about someone else’s, don’t ask for a loan.

You don’t even notice that your dreams come true, everything is always not enough for you!

Life is a desert, we wander naked through it.
Mortal, full of pride, you are simply ridiculous!
You find a reason for every step -
Meanwhile, it has long been predetermined in heaven.

I would blind my life from the smartest deeds
There he did not think of it, here he did not succeed at all.
But Time - here we have a quick teacher!
As a cuff will give you a little wiser.

I have absolutely nothing upsets and surprises.
Everything is fine in any case.

Know that the main source of being is love.

It is difficult to comprehend the plans of God, old man.
This sky has no top or bottom.
Sit in a secluded corner and be content with little:
If only the scene was at least a little visible!

Those who did not seek the path are unlikely to be shown the path -
Knock and the door to destiny will open!

The drop began to cry that it parted with the sea,
The sea laughed at the naive grief.

We are a source of fun - and a mine of sorrow.
We are a reservoir of filth - and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant - and he is immensely great!

When you throw dirt at a person, remember that it may not reach him, but it will remain on your hands.

How complete darkness is needed for a pearl
So suffering is necessary for the soul and mind.
Have you lost everything, and the soul is empty?
This cup will fill up again by itself!

Silence is a shield from many troubles, and chatter is always harmful.
A man's tongue is small, but how many lives he has broken.

If you have a nook for living -
In our vile time - and a piece of bread,
If you are not a servant to anyone, not a master -
You are happy and truly high in spirit.

The lower man soul, the higher nose up. He reaches with his nose where his soul has not matured.

Since your mind has not comprehended the eternal laws
It's funny to worry about petty intrigues.
Since the god in heaven is unfailingly great -
Be calm and cheerful, appreciate this moment.

You give someone a change and he will remember forever, you give your life to someone, but he will not remember.

Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss the time!

The downtrodden die prematurely

We are with God - all the toys of creation,
In the universe, His only possessions are everything.
And why our competition in wealth -
We're all in the same prison, aren't we?

To live life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it's better to be alone than with just anyone.

Who is beaten by life, he will achieve more.
A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more.
Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs.
Who died, he knows that he lives!

The wind of life is sometimes fierce.
On the whole life is good though...
And it's not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...

Why is the almighty creator of our bodies
Didn't want to give us immortality?
If we are perfect, why do we die?
If they are not perfect, then who is the spoiler?

If I was given omnipotence
- I would have lowered the sky a long time ago
And would erect another, reasonable sky
To only the worthy loved it.

Let's get up in the morning and shake hands with each other,
Let's forget about our grief for a moment,
Let's enjoy this morning air
With full breasts, while we are still breathing, we will inhale.

Before you were born, you didn't need anything
And having been born, you are doomed to need everything.
Just throw off the oppression of a shameful body,
You will again become free, like God, a rich man.

Aphorisms of Omar Khayyam occupies an important place in world literature not by accident.

After all, everyone knows this outstanding sage of antiquity. However, not everyone realizes that Omar Khayyam was, among other things, an outstanding mathematician who made a serious contribution to algebra, a writer, philosopher and musician.

He was born on May 18, 1048 and lived for a long 83 years. His whole life was spent in Persia (modern Iran).

Of course, most of all this genius became famous for his quatrains, which are called the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. They contain deep meaning, subtle irony, exquisite humor and amazing sense of being.

There are many different translations of the rubaiyat of the great Persian. We bring to your attention the best sayings and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam.

It is better to fall into poverty, starve or steal,
Than to get into the number of despicable dishes.
It is better to gnaw bones than to be seduced by sweets
At the table of the bastards who have power.
The wind of life is sometimes fierce.
On the whole life is good though
And it's not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...

I am a student in this best of the best worlds.
My work is hard: the teacher is painfully harsh!
Until gray hair, I go to life as apprentices,
Still not enrolled in the category of masters ...

Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to miss the time!

And with a friend and an enemy, you must be good!
Who by nature is kind, you will not find malice in him.
Hurt a friend - you make an enemy,
Embrace the enemy - you will find a friend.

If you have a nook for housing -
In our vile time - and a piece of bread,
If you are not a servant to anyone, not a master -
You are happy and truly high in spirit.

The ocean of drops is great.
The mainland is made up of dust particles.
Your arrival and departure - do not matter.
Just a fly flew in the window for a moment ...

From godlessness to God - one moment!
From zero to total - one moment.
Take care of this precious moment:
Life - neither less nor more - one moment!


Wine is forbidden, but there are four "buts":
It depends on who, with whom, when and in moderation, or drinks wine.
If these four conditions are met
All sane wine is allowed.

Two people were looking out the same window.
One saw rain and mud.
The other is green foliage,
Spring and the sky is blue.

We are a source of fun and sorrow mine.
We are a reservoir of filth and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant and he is immensely great!

Who is beaten by life, he will achieve more.
A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more.
Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs.
Who died, he knows that he lives!


How often, in life, making mistakes,
We lose those we love.
Trying to please strangers
sometimes we run from our neighbor.
We lift those who are not worth us,
but we betray the most faithful.
Who loves us so much, we offend,
and we are waiting for an apology.

Do not envy the one who is strong and rich,
Sunrise is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a breath.
Treat as with this one for rent.

And a speck of dust was a living particle.
A black curl, a long eyelash was.
Wipe the dust from your face gently and gently:
Dust, perhaps Zukhra was a clairvoyant!


I once bought a talking pitcher.
“I was a check! - the jug screamed inconsolably -
I became dust. The potter summoned me from the dust
He made the former Shah a joyful reveler.

This old jug is on the poor man's table
He was an all-powerful vizier in the past centuries.
This cup, which is held by the hand, -
The breast of a dead beauty or the cheek...

Did the world have a source in the very beginning?
Here is the riddle that God gave us,
The sages talked about it as they wanted, -
None of them could figure it out.


He is too zealous, shouting: "It's me!"
In a wallet with a golden strumming: "It's me!"
But as soon as he manages to set things up -
death knocks on the window to the braggart: "It's me!"

Do you see this boy, old sage?
He amuses himself with sand - he builds a palace.
Give him advice: "Be careful, young man,
With the ashes of wise heads and loving hearts!

In the cradle - the baby, the dead - in the coffin:
That's all that is known about our fate.
Drink the cup to the bottom - and do not ask much:
The master will not reveal a secret to a slave.

Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses,
Do not measure today's affairs by tomorrow's measure,
Do not believe in the past or the future,
Believe the current minute - be happy now!


Months followed months before us,
Wise men were replaced by wise men before us.
These dead stones are under our feet
Before they were the pupils of captivating eyes.

I see a troubled land - the abode of sorrows,
I see mortals hurrying to their grave,
I see glorious kings, moon-faced beauties,
Shining and becoming prey to worms.

There is no heaven or hell, O my heart!
There is no return from the darkness, O my heart!
And do not hope, O my heart!
And there is no need to be afraid, O my heart!


We are obedient dolls in the hands of the Creator!
This is not said by me for the sake of words.
The Almighty leads us on the stage on strings
And shoves it into the chest, bringing it to the end.

Well, if your dress is without holes.
And it is not a sin to think about daily bread.
And everything else is not necessary for nothing -
Life is more precious than wealth and honors of all.

Having become a poor dervish, you will reach heights.
Having torn your heart into blood, you will reach heights.
Away, empty dreams of great accomplishments!
Only by coping with yourself - you will reach heights.

Do not envy the one who is strong and rich. Dawn is always followed by sunset. With this life, short, equal to a sigh, treat it like it was given to you for rent.

- 2 -

Who is beaten by life, he will achieve more. A pood of salt who has eaten appreciates honey more. Who shed tears, he sincerely laughs. Who died, he knows that he lives!

- 3 -

"Hell and heaven are in heaven," say the bigots. Looking into myself, I was convinced of the lie: hell and paradise are not circles in the palace of the universe, hell and paradise are two halves of the soul.

- 4 -

Everything is bought and sold, and life frankly laughs at us. We are indignant, we are indignant, but we are sold and bought.

- 5 -

Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses, do not measure today's deeds by tomorrow's measure. Do not believe in the past or the future. Believe the current minute - be happy now!

About love

- 6 -

Yes, in a woman, as in a book, there is wisdom. Only the literate can understand its great meaning. And do not be angry with the book, if, ignorant, did not manage to read it.

- 7 -

In one hand are flowers, in the other - a permanent glass, feast with your beloved, forgetting about the whole Universe, until a tornado of death suddenly plucks from you, like rose petals, the shirt of mortal life.

- 8 -

Who is ugly, who is handsome - does not know passion. A madman in love agrees to go to hell. It makes no difference to those in love what to wear, what to lay on the ground, what to put under your head.

- 9 -

Whose heart does not burn with passionate love for the dear, without consolation, drags out his sad life. Days spent without the joys of love, I consider an unnecessary and hateful burden.

- 10 -

To love and be loved is happiness. You protect from simple bad weather. And taking the reins of love together eagerly in your hands, never let go, even living apart ...

About wine

- 11 -

They say that drunkards will go to hell. All nonsense! If the drinkers were sent to hell, and all the woman lovers there after them, empty as a palm, your Garden of Eden would become.

- 12 -

Heart! Let the cunning, conspiring at the same time, condemn the wine, they say, it is harmful. If you want to wash your soul and body, listen to poetry more often while drinking wine.

- 13 -

A blooming garden, a girlfriend and a bowl of wine - this is my paradise. I don't want to end up in something else. Yes, no one has seen heavenly paradise! So let's take comfort in earthly things for the time being.

- 14 -

But wine teaches the same wisdom, on each cup there is a life prescription: “Close your lips - and you will see the bottom!”

- 15 -

Wine is forbidden, but there are four buts: depending on who, with whom, when and in moderation, drinks wine. Subject to these four conditions, wine is permitted to all sane people.

Date of death:

Giyasaddin Abu-l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyam Nishapuri(Persian. غیاث ‌الدین ابوالفتح عمر بن ابراهیم خیام نیشابورﻯ ‎; May 18, Nishapur - December 4, ibid) - Persian poet, philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, astrologer.

Omar Khayyam is famous all over the world for his rubaiyat quatrains. In algebra, he built a classification of cubic equations and gave their solutions using conic sections. In Iran, Omar Khayyam is also known for creating a calendar more accurate than the European one, which has been officially used since the 11th century.

Name

The name displays information about the life of the poet.

  • غیاث ‌الدین Ghiyas ad-Din- “Shoulder of faith”, means knowledge of the Koran.
  • ابوالفتح عمر بن ابراهیم Abu l-Fath Omar ibn Ibrahim- marten. "Abu" - father, "Fath" - conqueror, "Omar" - life, Ibrahim - the name of the father.
  • خیام Khayyam- a nickname, lakab - "tent master", a reference to his father's craft. From the word "haima" - a tent, the old Russian "khamovnik" - a textile worker - comes from the same word.
  • نیشابورﻯ Nishapuri- reference to Khayyam's hometown - Nishapur.

Biography

Omar was the son of a camper, he also had younger sister Aisha. At the age of 8 he knew the Koran from memory, he was deeply engaged in mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy. At the age of 12, Omar became a student at the Nishapur Madrasah. He brilliantly completed a course in Islamic law and medicine, having received the qualification of a hakim, that is, a doctor. But medical practice was of little interest to Omar. He studied the writings of the famous mathematician and astronomer Thabit ibn Kurra, the works of Greek mathematicians.

Khayyam's childhood fell on the cruel period of the Seljuk conquest of Central Asia. Many people died, including a significant part of the scientists. Later, in the preface to his Algebra, Khayyam wrote bitter words:

We witnessed the death of scientists, from which a small, long-suffering handful of people remained. The severity of fate in these times prevents them from completely surrendering to the improvement and deepening of their science. Most of those who at present have the appearance of scientists dress the truth with a lie, without going beyond the bounds of forgery and hypocrisy in science. And if they meet a person who is distinguished by the fact that he seeks the truth and loves the truth, tries to reject lies and hypocrisy and refuse boasting and deceit, they make him the object of their contempt and ridicule.

The painting "On the grave of Omar Khayyam"

At the age of sixteen, Khayyam experienced the first loss in his life: during the epidemic, his father died, and then his mother. Omar sold his father's house and workshop and went to Samarkand. At that time it was a scientific and cultural center recognized in the East. In Samarkand, Khayyam first becomes a student of one of the madrasas, but after several speeches at debates, he impressed everyone with his learning so much that he was immediately made a mentor.

Like other great scientists of that time, Omar did not stay long in any city. After only four years, he left Samarkand and moved to Bukhara, where he began working in book depositories. During the ten years that the scientist lived in Bukhara, he wrote four fundamental treatises on mathematics.

Do not ask the ball for consent with the throw.
It rushes across the field, driven by the Player.
Only the One who once threw you here -
He knows everything, He knows everything.

Scientific activity

Mathematics

Khayyam owns the "Treatise on the evidence of the problems of al-jabra and al-muqabala." In his first chapters, Khayyam sets out an algebraic method for solving quadratic equations, described by al-Khwarizmi. In the following chapters, he develops a geometric method for solving cubic equations, dating back to Archimedes: the unknown in this method was constructed as the intersection point of two suitable conic sections. Khayyam gave a rationale for this method, a classification of the types of equations, an algorithm for choosing the type of a conic section, an estimate for the number of (positive) roots and their magnitude. Unfortunately, Khayyam did not notice that a cubic equation can have three positive real roots. Cardano Khayyam failed to reach explicit algebraic formulas, but he expressed the hope that an explicit solution would be found in the future.

In the "Treatise on the Interpretation of Euclid's Dark Positions", written around 1077, Khayyam considers irrational numbers to be quite legitimate, defining the equality of two ratios as the consistent equality of all suitable quotients in Euclid's algorithm. In the same book, Khayyam tries to prove Euclid's fifth postulate, based on its more obvious equivalent: two converging lines must intersect.

Astronomy

Khayyam led a group of astronomers in Isfahan, which, under the reign of the Seljuk Sultan Jalal ad-Din Malik Shah, developed a fundamentally new solar calendar. It was officially adopted in the city. The main purpose of this calendar was the most strict binding of Nowruz (that is, the beginning of the year) to the spring equinox, understood as the entry of the sun into the zodiac constellation Aries. So, 1 farvardin (Novruz) 468 solar year of the Hijri, in which the calendar was adopted, corresponded to Friday, 9 Ramadan 417 lunar year AH, and 19 Farvardin 448 of the Yazdegerd era (March 15). To distinguish it from the Zoroastrian solar year, which was called "ancient" or "Persian", the new calendar began to be called by the name of the Sultan - "Jalali" or "Maleki". The number of days in the months of the Jalali calendar varied depending on the timing of the entry of the sun into one or another zodiac sign and could range from 29 to 32 days. New names for the months were also proposed, as well as for the days of each month, following the model of the Zoroastrian calendar. However, they did not take root, and the months began to be referred to in the general case by the name of the corresponding zodiac sign.

From a purely astronomical point of view, the Jalali calendar was more accurate than the ancient Roman Julian calendar, used in modern Khayyam Europe, and more accurate than the later European Gregorian calendar. Instead of the cycle “1 leap year for 4 years” (Julian calendar) or “97 leap years for 400 years” (Gregorian calendar), Khayyam adopted the ratio “8 leap years for 33 years”. In other words, out of every 33 years, 8 were leap years and 25 were ordinary. This calendar corresponded well to the astronomical year and natural seasons, but required laborious astronomical observations and calculations, which caused its difficult fate even in its homeland - Iran, not to mention other countries of the Islamic world that stubbornly adhered to the traditional lunar calendar. Ultimately, the Khayyam calendar gave way to other calendar systems.

scientific school

Khayyam's students were such scholars as al-Asfizari and al-Khazini.
