In childhood we strove to go to school,
Our turn to teach, joyous as a rule
The end of the story is sad and cruel
From dust we came, and gone with winds cool.
-From Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

omar khayyam’s rubaiyat are great source of knowledge. This rubaiyaat is great indeed,it will be better if original text is placed along with the translation,it makes poets writing style understandable.
