Omar Khayyam, the great Persian poet, philosopher and mathematician, often wrote about the passage of time and the changing of years in his quatrains known as rubai. He saw in this cycle of nature a reflection of human life, which also goes through a series of changes.
Khayyam also felt the passage of time as a reminder that life is fleeting. Years go by, and a person grows old: it is important not to waste time and live your life in such a way that it does not cause excruciating pain for the years spent aimlessly.
In his quatrains, Omar Khayyam, like no one else, accurately and succinctly reflects the main values of life – we need to be able to enjoy life in the moment, rejoicing in what we already have and what we have achieved. One of these verses is perfect for a New Year’s Eve toast:
Life is a moment. Wine is a balm for sadness.
Day [год] passed without a care in the world – thank heavens!
Be content with your allotted share,
Don’t try to remake it yourself.
Every New Year is a new stage in life, and it is important to start it with good thoughts and intentions, and be kind to each other.
The words of Omar Khayyam about the inexorable passage of time are still relevant today. They remind us that life is a precious gift that must be cherished.
