Omar Khayyam where. Omar Khayyam's wisest quotes about life and love
Omar Khayyam devoted himself to the study of life itself. He did a lot scientific work in such areas as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, but the world is most remembered as a poet, author of the rubaiyat quatrains. Unfortunately, during the life of Khayyam, his extraordinary mind was not appreciated. He was remembered only in the 19th century, when world fame came to him.
In his rubai, Khayyam raises questions about the meaning of life, chastity, happiness, love, friendship and, of course, about his favorite drink -.

4Quotes and Aphorisms 16.09.2017
Dear readers, today I invite you to a philosophical conversation. After all, we will talk about the statements of the famous poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam. The poet is considered one of the greatest minds and philosophers of the East. Composing aphorisms about life with meaning, Omar Khayyam wrote short quatrains - rubai. It is interesting, however, that during his lifetime he was much more known as an astronomer and mathematician.
Until the Victorian era, it was known only in the East. Because of the breadth of perspective for a long time Khayyam the poet and Khayyam the scientist were considered different people. The collection of quatrains, Rubayat, was published after the death of the author. Europeans read rubyat in the translation of the English naturalist and poet Edward Fitzgerald. According to writers, the collection of Khayam's poems includes more than 5,000 works. Historians are cautious: experts say that Khayyam wrote only 300 to 500 poems.
The philosopher subtly felt life and accurately described the characters of people. He noted the peculiarities of behavior in different situations. Despite the fact that he lived many years ago, Khayyam's sayings and thoughts are still relevant, and many statements have become famous aphorisms.
And now I invite you dear readers, get a subtle pleasure from the poetic wisdom and wit of aphorisms and quotes of the great thinker Omar Khayyam.
Quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about love
The poet could not pass by eternal theme relations between men and women. Sincerely and simply, he writes:
Days spent without the joys of love
I consider it an unnecessary and hateful burden.
But Khayyam's idealism is alien. Throwing love describes a few lines:
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.
The poet also thought a lot about how true closeness and love between people is manifested:
Giving yourself is not the same as selling.
And sleeping next to each other does not mean sleeping.
Not to take revenge does not mean to forgive everything.
Not to be near does not mean not to love.
Physical distances meant more in the distant past than they do now. But mental alienation can be the same. The connoisseur of souls about the eternal problem of families, the seduction of husbands, said briefly: "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."
However, the philosopher admits:
A weak man is an unfaithful slave of fate,
Exposed, I am a shameless slave!
Especially in love. I myself, I am the first
Always unfaithful and weak to many.
About the ideal female beauty Khayyam wrote on behalf of men:
You, whose appearance is fresher than wheat fields,
You are the mihrab from the heavenly temple mile!
Your mother washed you with ambergris at birth,
Mixing a drop of my blood into the aroma!
Surprisingly, more than ten centuries have passed since these lines were written, and the actions of lovers have not changed much. Perhaps that is why the most witty quotes and aphorisms of Omar Khayyam are still so popular?
Omar Khayyam quotes about the joy of life
During the life of a scientist in Islamic world(within modern borders from Azerbaijan to India) religion in literature imposes severe restrictions on the description of love. For more than thirty years, there has been a strict ban on the mention of alcohol in poetry. But the philosopher seems to be laughing at the imams. Famous verse is disassembled into aphorisms.
We are told that in the bushes of paradise we will embrace marvelous houris,
Blissfully delighting yourself with the purest honey and wine.
So if it is allowed by the Ancients themselves in the holy paradise,
Is it possible in a fleeting world to forget beauties and wine?
However, the notorious Khayyam wine is not so much alcohol as a symbol of the joy of life:
Drink! And into the fire of spring turmoil
Throw away the holey, dark cloak of winter.
The earthly path is not long. And time is a bird.
The bird has wings... You are at the edge of darkness.
Wine is also a way to comprehend the wisdom of ordinary, at first glance, phenomena and images:
Man is the truth of the world, the crown -
Not everyone knows this, but only the sage.
Drink a drop of wine so you don't feel like
That creations are all one sample.
Although the main thing is still the ability to enjoy life:
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.
The main feature of the sage's works is integrity without the now fashionable conflict. A person is not only holistic, but also affects the environment:
Only in the sky the dawn will be barely visible,
Draw from the cup the juice of the invaluable vine!
We know: the truth in the mouths of people is bitter, -
So, it means that we must consider wine to be true.
This is the whole of Khayyam - he suggests looking for the meaning of life in its endless manifestations.
Aphorisms of Omar Khayyam about life
This is the essence of philosophers - to constantly think about what is happening around and be able to express it accurately and succinctly. Omar Khayyam expounded a very unusual view:
And the nights turned into days
Before us, oh my dear friend,
And the stars did the same
Your circle is predetermined by fate.
Ah, be quiet! go carefully
On the dust under your feet -
You trample on the ashes of beauties,
Remains of their wondrous eyes.
Khayyam is also wise in his attitude to death and suffering. Like any wise person, he knew that there was no point in regretting the past and that in the constant expectation of a better happiness, too, could not be found.
Do not curse your heavens for suffering.
Look at the graves of your friends without weeping.
Appreciate this fleeting moment.
Don't look at yesterday and tomorrow.
And about a different perception of life, he wrote:
Two people were looking out the same window. One saw rain and mud.
The other is green foliage, spring and blue sky.
Two people were looking out the same window.
And, of course, all the basic laws of the universe were obvious to him, which even now indicate that the best thing in life is to do good:
Do no evil - it will return as a boomerang,
Don't spit in the well - you will drink water,
Do not insult someone who is lower in rank,
And suddenly you have to ask for something.
Don't betray your friends, you can't replace them
And do not lose your loved ones - you will not return,
Don't lie to yourself - time will check,
That you are betraying yourself with this lie.
The philosopher considered labor to be the main thing, and position in society, wealth and social benefits were only transient attributes. Of swagger, he wrote:
Sometimes someone proudly casts glances: “It's me!”
Decorate your outfits with gold: "It's me!"
But only his affairs will go smoothly,
Suddenly, death comes out of the ambush: "It's me!"
In the transience of being, the poet valued humanity, the ability to focus on his tasks:
Do not envy the one who is strong and rich,
Dawn is always followed by sunset.
With this life short, equal to a breath,
Treat like a rental.
Omar Khayyam was able to treat many things with humor:
When I lay my head under the fence,
In the paws of death, like a bird in a pluck, I will please -
I bequeath: make a jug out of me,
Join me in your spree!
Although, like wine, the revelry and joy of the poet cannot be understood only literally. The rubaiyat contains several layers of wisdom.
Reflections on God and Religion
Due to the peculiarities of the worldview of the East at that time, Khayyam could not ignore religion.
God is in the veins of days. All life is His game.
Of mercury it is living silver.
It will shine with the moon, it will turn silver with a fish ...
He is all flexible, and death is His game.
Omar Khayyam has long gone to the understanding of God. God, according to Khayyam, is very different from the Christian trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Instantly He is visible, more often hidden.
We are watching our lives closely.
God spends eternity with our drama!
He composes, puts and looks.
Strictly speaking, only the Holy Spirit is present in Islam from the trinity. According to the Qur'an, Jesus, or rather Isa, is one of the the greatest prophets. Their scientist frankly did not like:
Prophets came to us in droves,
And they promised light to the dark world.
But all of them with their eyes closed
They descended into the darkness one after the other.
Although the philosopher participated in the upbringing of children of noble families, he did not leave theological works after himself. The fact is all the more surprising that for 10 years of work in Bukhara, the scientist published 4 fundamental additions to the geometry of Euclid and 2 works on astronomy. Apparently, theosophy remained outside his interests. His humorous verse speaks of his attitude to the cult of religion:
I enter the mosque. The hour is late and deaf.
I am not in a thirst for a miracle and not with a plea:
Once upon a time I pulled the rug from here,
And he was worn out. We need another...
And here it is already directly, without any humor:
In seventy-two teachings, everything is in a row
There is so much talk about the essence of the Creator!
It would be fine if they chatted nonsense among themselves -
With folding words they fool the people.
Between religion and the light of the active mind of people, the scientist chooses humanity:
For believers, there are ways to two Kaabas:
Either in Mecca, the Kaaba, or in the heart to find.
Like holy places, go from heart to heart
And each of them would be preferred to a hundred Meccas.
Khayyam considered action to be the main way to the heart of people. Moreover, he considered it vital to finish what he started: “A plucked flower must be presented, a poem begun must be completed, and the beloved woman is happy, otherwise it was not worth taking on something that is beyond your power.”
About the attitude to life, the poet wrote:
Do not mourn, mortal, yesterday's losses,
Do not measure today's affairs by tomorrow's yardstick.
Do not believe in the past or the future.
Believe the current minute - be happy now!
Perhaps not all lines resonate in the soul of each of us, but surely most of them. No wonder they are passed from mouth to mouth and constantly quoted. So let our warm selection replenish the treasury of worldly wisdom and once again remind you of the main thing. At least again, about the ability to be happy here and now, in the present, without postponing your happiness for later.
And finally, I want to present you a video. Let's listen to quotes, aphorisms, sayings, poems by Omar Khayyam about love, life, men and women.
Fairy tale therapy for a soft solution to children's problems
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

So...
The goal of the eternal movement of the worlds of the universe is us. |
For the worthy - there are no worthy awards, |
The bull holds the Earth from time immemorial, |
Close the Koran, look around freely. |
To please God, it is useful to suppress murmurings. |
The prohibition of wine is a law that takes into account |
In office of great gentlemen |
I asked the wisest: "What did you extract |
Like wind in the steppe, like water in a river, |
A blooming garden, a friend and a bowl of wine - |
|
It is shown not to drink to someone - maybe ... |
I saw a builder who was building a house, |
Let me burn for a hundred years in fire, |
We die once and for all. |
Whose heart does not burn with passionate love for the sweet, - |
Live, fool! Spend while rich! |
Wine is not only a friend - wine is a sage: |
Glitter diadem, silk turban - |
You have no control over tomorrow today. |
On roses, the sparkle of New Year's dew is beautiful. |
All who are old and who are young, who now live, |
Someone wise suggested to me who dozed off: |
For a hundred years I lived without knowing sin, |
They say that drunkards will go to hell. |
What for common happiness to suffer to no avail - |
From the arrows that throw death, we can not find a shield: |
The life-giving spring is hidden in the bud of your lips, |
O sage! If God gave you a rental |
We are only dolls, rock spins us, - |
Life apart from the intoxicating vine is nothing, |
Fools consider me a sage. |
Do not waste yourself, oh friend, on grief, |
What fate decided to give you |
You beware of the treachery of the fleeing skies. |
O fate! You assert violence in everything yourself. |
If the truth in the world is conditional, why destroy the heart, |
Why accumulate goodness in the desert of being? |
In vain do you blame rock for inconstancy; |
Are you rewarded? Forget it! |
The world is a moment, and I am in it - one moment. |
Egypt, Rome, China keep you under the heel, |
Have some fun! Everything in the world is fleeting, my friend. |
Know only people worthy of friendship, |
Do not be afraid, friend, today's adversity! |
Since death will not give me mercy anyway - |
Into this world we will hardly get again, |
If you can, do not worry about the running time, |
Do not furrow your brows because of the blows of fate. |
Be joyful, do not be sad in vain, |
Friend, two concepts you should confirm: |
Do not change what the kalam has drawn. |
Don't complain! Not forever a vale of sorrows, |
All that you have studied in the world is nothing, |
Life is either sherbet on ice, or else it is the sludge of wine. |
In the abode of two doors, what, mortal, are you enriched by? |
Do not be careless at the crossroads of days |
|
How long should I grieve about what has long been decided, |
If in our time the mind is both useless and harmful |
When I was the creator - the lord of the universe, |
Say: who has not covered himself with sins, |
You tame greed, live by yourself, |
You, the account leading all earthly affairs, - |
Who we are - Dolls on strings, and our puppeteer is the firmament |
You teach: "Faithful in heaven holy |
Don't share your secrets with people. |
Why torment yourself and bother, |
To those who carry news of the unknown, |
For those to whom the knowledge of secrets is given, |
A small drop of water merged with a wave of the sea. |
I'm sick, spiritual illness torments my body, |
Let there be a flaw in our knowledge, deceit in postulates. |
Do not be afraid of the wiles of the running time. |
According to the book of life, I wondered about fate. |
In our vile age, any friend is unfaithful. |
For a moment, a moment - and life will flash by. |
For many years I pondered over earthly life. |
It is known that in the world everything is just vanity of vanities: |
Throw off the burden of self-interest, oppression of vanity, |
Of all those who have gone on an endless journey |
It is better to fall into poverty, starve or steal, |
How tired I am of unbearable bigots! |
Think less about the evil of our fate, |
Where are the hosts who feasted here before us? |
Do not let longing boil in your chest, |
Be cheerful in these moments in which you live, |
Alas, we are not given many days to be here, |
Everything will pass - and the grain of hope will not rise, |
You will be in the company of proud learned donkeys, |
Since the truth is always out of hand - |
Everything that is in the world is impermanent, |
Grieve about what? Is it all the same to me |
If there is a beauty, wine and changa ringing |
Since our mind is at a low price, |
The sheikh shamed the harlot: "You, dissolute, drink, |
We fell into this world like a sparrow into a snare. |
On the day when they saddled the sky steed, |
How gently the breeze kisses the cheeks of the rose! |
From godlessness to God - one moment. |
Alas, the firmament is not favorable! |
Drink boldly, friends! At the hour of joyful pleasures |
It is better to drink and caress cheerful beauties, |
Do not grieve that your name will be forgotten. |
There are no husbands left to respect, |
Fill the ocean with rocks |
Until fate took over us |
I came into this world under compulsion, |
The circle of heaven blinds us with its brilliance. |
You, whose villainy has no end in sight, |
How do you know, friend, what awaits us tomorrow. |
When they snatch an escape without pity, |
Life will fly by like one moment |
Have fewer friends these days, simpleton, |
There is no point in constantly bothering yourself, |
I am doomed to suffer until the end of my days, |
Give free rein to all heart movements, |
In this world of fools, scoundrels, traders |
He who from youth believes in his own mind, |
Oh, woe, woe to the heart, where there is no burning passion. |
If you seek pleasure all your life: |
Love is a fatal misfortune, but the misfortune is by the will of Allah. |
Merciless fate, crushing our plans, |
Mercy, my heart, do not seek, |
We come sinless - and we sin, |
Sacrifice yourself for the sake of your beloved |
From the spinning of the potter's wheel of time |
Khayyam! What are you grieving about? Be merry! |
"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, |
Yesterday I watched the circle turn |
Whose flesh, tell me, jug, has become you? |
I heard: under the blows of the potter |
Life is instantaneous, driven by the wind, has passed, |
In the morning the rose opened a bud under the wind, |
Give me wine! There is no place for empty words here. |
Come quickly, filled with charms, |
Above all else, love. |
The hand holds the bowl, and the other is the Koran: |
There is little peace, hardships cannot be overcome, |
Oh, if only, taking a sofa with poetry, |
I have a sober day - a barrier to joy |
When violets pour fragrance |
Freely for a moment we live in the world. |
Constellations in the sky |
A certain circle concluded our coming and going, |
The vault of heaven threatens us with misfortune - you and me, |
They will call me drunk - indeed so! |
Give me a jug of wine and a cup, my love, |
And I, gray-bearded, fell into the snare of love. |
May the wine be with you! |
The jug that today waters the poor, |
For loving you, let everyone condemn around, |
There is no heaven or hell, O my heart! |
Oh heaven, you do not have a soul in scoundrels! |
|
How long do you break your hearts because of life's troubles? |
We do not understand the riddles of eternity - neither you nor I. |
Can't we find a place to rest here? |
How the rooster crowed at dawn! |
Drink with wise golden-speaking old age, |
You do not become a slave to worldly goods, |
If you want to rest in blessed bliss |
The sky whispered to me secretly in a moment of prophetic insight: |
How long will you bow your head before the low? |
Peace and life, and luminaries and constellations movement |
Satisfied crow with a bone for lunch, |
Kohl on Degas you have one cake |
No one has defeated the threatening power of the sky |
Everything will disappear. You look, there is only one wind in your hands. |
Before you could not sleep, not drink, not be satisfied, |
The soul that endured suffering, freedom is gained. |
I'm exhausted, crying without drying my eyes, |
The one who made friends with cute beauties with a smile, |
The sea of this life has arisen from hidden forces, |
When I plucked the fruit of hope, O life, from your branches, |
To be in the eyes not water, but tears are destined, |
Sometimes someone goes ahead, I brazenly shout: - |
It was not from poverty that I decided to forget the wine, |
I can't cover the sun with roses, |
The sky is heaping up the mountain of suffering, |
Blessed is he who in our days has tasted freedom, |
Caravans go on a long journey, bells ring. |
I came from heaven or hell - I don’t know about myself, |
Who wrote the word of reason on the heart, |
You ruined earthly days for the sake of worldly blessings, |
My spirit is completely fed up with wanderings, |
Before experiencing the vicissitudes in full, |
Hey, mufti, look... We are smarter and more efficient than you. |
The fire of my passion is high before you - so be it! |
We were a drop from the heat of passion |
You got half the bread for food, |
It's like you were friends with me at first, |
When you comprehend life, then from the darkness |
You foolishly let your life go to the wind, |
You, who let your dear life go to the wind |
I am ready to meet death without fear. |
Instantly He is visible, more often hidden. |
Hypocrites who pride themselves on the life of a saint, |
Let you live your life without heavy torment - what's next? |
Omar Khayyam devoted himself to the study of life itself. He did a lot of scientific work in such areas as mathematics, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, but the world is best remembered as a poet, the author of rubaiyat quatrains. Unfortunately, during the life of Khayyam, his extraordinary mind was not appreciated. He was remembered only in the 19th century, when world fame came to him.
In his rubai, Khayyam raises questions about the meaning of life, chastity, happiness, love, friendship and, of course, about his favorite drink -.

The real name of the Persian genius who lived in the 10th-11th centuries sounds like Giyasaddin Abul-Fatah Omar ibn Ibrahim al Khayyam Nishapuri. Of course, for our language, such a difficult name is difficult to both remember and pronounce, so we know the person who gave the world wonderful rubai as Omar Khayyam.
Today, few people will remember that Omar Khayyam's interests included not only the rubaiyat, which many wittily use to make their statuses look more sophisticated. However, Omar was considered an outstanding mind of his time, he was a mathematician, physicist, philosopher and astronomer.
Few people know that Omar Khayyam improved the calendar; he also understood how to solve cubic equations, for which he proposed several methods. But today, the name of Omar is more often associated with poetry: he skillfully turned his philosophical statements into ambiguous phrases, as a result of which rubai appeared - beautiful aphorisms with deep meaning and often with hidden implications.

By the way, rubais were considered the most difficult form of poetry in Persia. Of the four lines of the verse, three must necessarily rhyme. However, Omar Khayyam quickly figured out how to weave bizarre wise phrases filled with deep meaning into the rubaiyat. Some of his rubies had not three rhyming lines, but all four .
The Persian poet was a great humanist. More than 10 centuries ago, he realized that the greatest value in our world is human life and freedom. Omar sang the transience of our age, his sayings urge us to live life to the fullest, not relying on mythical bliss afterlife.
Many thoughts could not be put into open statements, so as not to be persecuted (the power of religion at that time in the East was strong, and the life of the sages, whose status was defined as “dissenting”, was unsweetened). Omar had his own opinion not only about human relationships and life values.
He thought a lot about God, his role in human life, faith. These thoughts were at odds with religious dogmas, but the poet understood how to convey his wise sayings to people and not suffer for it. Omar clothed his statements in such a veiled form that no one could reproach his quotes for inconsistency with the official point of view.
Some philosophers and poets of Persia shared Omar's beliefs. They also doubted the existence of retribution, and believed that they should not limit themselves in earthly life, hoping for posthumous compensation.
However, many were afraid to put their reflections in a book signed with their name, as Omar did. Therefore, some Persian poets used the name of Omar Khayyam signing their phrases and statements.
