For The Morrow Let Us Not Worry

A nursery in Mahallat, Iran, June 15, 2008, more photos here.
O friend, for the morrow let us not worry
This moment we have now, let us not hurry
When our time comes, we shall not tarry
With seven thousand-year-olds, our burden carry.
Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam, translated by Shahriar Shahriari.
P.S. I have an important week ahead. Please send me good vibes.

Enjoy!

One of Shahireh Sharif's Nowrooz pictures in loving memory of her father. See all seven here.
Khayam, if you are intoxicated with wine, enjoy!
If you are seated with a lover of thine, enjoy!
In the end, the Void the whole world employ
Imagine thou art not, while waiting in line, enjoy!
خیام اگر ز باده مستی خوش باش

با ماهرخی اگر نشستی خوش باش

چون عاقبت کار جهان نیستی است

انگار که نیستی چو هستی خوش باش

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Shahriar Shahriari.
