lyrics

Seven Thousand Years
Lyrics: Omar Khayyam, ( english translation Karim Emami )

Come,my friend,let’s forget the cares of tomorrow
And instead enjoy this moment of our life;
For tomorrow when we have left this ancient abode
We shall be equal to all the seven thousand years olds!

Alas! the journal of my youth has all been subscribed,
And the fresh greenness of my life has become grey winter;
As for the state people call youth.......
I don’t remember how it arrived or when it ended.

Alas! we have been worn out in vain,
Falling victim to Heaven’s upside-down sickle.
Woe and woe! For in a twinkling of an eye
We were annihilated, our hopes unfulfilled.

Alas! the journal of my youth has all been subscribed,
And the fresh greenness of my life has become grey winter;
As for the state people call youth.......
I don’t remember how it arrived or when it ended.
