In truth, there never was an end.

Almost eight hundred years later, the spirits of Shams and Rumi are still alive today,

Without pure wine- Omar Khayyam

 
 
Without pure wine I cannot exist;
Without the elixir of grape I cannot persist.

I am captive to the moment when the cup-bearer says,
"Have another cup," and I am content to resist.
 

 
 
من بی می ناب زیستن نتوانم
بی باده کشید بارتن نتوانم

من بنده آن دمم که ساقی گوید
یک جام دگر بگیر و من نتوانم
