Read the following poem by Omar Khayym as translated byEhsan Yarshater.They did not ask me, when they planned my life;Why then blame me for what is good or bad?Yesterday and today go on without us;Tomorrow whats the charge against me, pray?In youth I studied for a little while;Later I boasted of my mastery.Yet this was all the lesson that I learned;We come from dust, and with the wind are gone.Of all the travelers on this endless roadNo one returns to tell us where it leads,Theres little in this world but greed and need;Leave nothing here, for you will not return. How do you think Omar Khayym viewed life in SouthwestAsia in the twelfth century?
