Omar Khayyam: And it's better to be alone than with just anyone. Witty ruby ​​lobster khayyam Hungry be anything to eat

The image of the great poet of the East Omar Khayyam is covered with legends, and the biography is full of secrets and mysteries. The ancient East knew Omar Khayyam primarily as an outstanding scientist: mathematician, physicist, astronomer, philosopher. In the modern world, Omar Khayyam is known more as a poet, the creator of original philosophical and lyrical quatrains - wise, full of humor, cunning and audacity rubai.

Rubai is one of the most complex genre forms of Tajik-Persian poetry. The volume of the rubaiyat is four lines, three of which (rarely four) rhyme with each other. Khayyam is an unsurpassed master of this genre. His rubies amaze with the accuracy of observations and the depth of comprehension of the world and the human soul, the brightness of images and the elegance of rhythm.

Living in the religious east, Omar Khayyam reflects on God, but resolutely rejects all church dogmas. His irony and free-thinking are reflected in the rubaiyat. He was supported by many poets of his time, but because of the fear of persecution for freethinking and blasphemy, they also attributed their works to Khayyam.

Omar Khayyam is a humanist, for him a person and his peace of mind are above all. He appreciates the pleasure and joy of life, the enjoyment of every minute. And his style of presentation made it possible to express what could not be said out loud in plain text.

Creativity Khayyam

All that we see is only one appearance.
Far from the surface of the world to the bottom.
Consider the unimportant obvious in the world,
For the secret essence of things is not visible.
Translation by German Plisetsky

I have made knowledge my trade,
I am familiar with the higher truth and the baser evil.
I untangled all the tight knots in the world,
Except death tied in a dead knot.
Translation by German Plisetsky

One is always shameful work - to exalt oneself,
Are you so great and wise? - dare to ask yourself.
Let the eyes serve as an example - a huge seeing the world,
They do not grumble because they cannot see themselves.
Translation by B. Golubev

Though the sage is not a miser and does not accumulate good,
Bad in the world and the wise without silver.
Under the fence, the violet droops from begging,
A rich rose is red and generous!
Translation by German Plisetsky

Someone wise suggested to me who dozed off:
“Wake up! You won't be happy in a dream.
Give up this occupation, like death,
After death, Khayyam, you will sleep completely!
Translation by German Plisetsky

Nobility through suffering, friend, is born,
To become a pearl - is every drop given?
You can lose everything, save only your soul, -
The cup will be filled again, it would be wine.
Translation by Gleb Semenov

He who from youth believes in his own mind,
He became dry and gloomy in pursuit of truth.
Claiming from childhood to the knowledge of life,
Not becoming a grape, it turned into a raisin.
Translation by German Plisetsky

How long will you please all the cattle?
Only a fly for grub can give his soul!
Feed on the blood of the heart, but be independent.
It is better to swallow tears than to gnaw on leftovers.
Translation by Gleb Semyonov

You say this life - one moment.
Appreciate it, draw inspiration from it.
As you spend it, so it will pass,
Don't forget: she is your creation.
Translation by K. Arseneva and Ts. Banu

From feigned love - there is no satisfaction,
No matter how rotten shines, there is no combustion.
Day and night there is no rest for the lover,
For months there is no moment of oblivion!
Translation by Gleb Semenov

What for common happiness to suffer to no avail -
It is better to give happiness to someone close.
It is better to tie a friend to yourself with kindness,
How to free humanity from the fetters.
Translation by German Plisetsky

To live life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it's better to be alone than with just anyone.
Translation by Osip Rumer

Don't let a scoundrel into secrets - hide them,
And keep secrets from the fool - hide them,
Look at yourself among the people passing by,
Keep silent about hopes to the end - hide them!
Translation by N. Tenigina

I know this kind of pompous asses:
Empty like a drum, but how many loud words!
They are slaves of names. Make up a name for yourself
And any of them is ready to crawl before you.
Translation by Osip Rumer

Only the essence, how worthy of men, say
Only answering - the words of the lord - speak.
There are two ears, and one language is given not by chance -
Listen twice and only once - speak!
Translation by N. Tenigina

Wine is forbidden, but there are four "buts":
It depends on who, with whom, when and in moderation, or drinks wine.
If these four conditions are met
All sane wine is allowed.
Translation by Osip Rumer

It's not right to offend good people,
It is not appropriate, like a predator in the desert, to growl.
It is not smart to boast of the obtained wealth,
It is not proper to honor oneself for the titles!
Translation by N. Tenigina

Changing rivers, countries, cities...
Other doors... New Years...
And we can't get away from ourselves,
And if you get away - only to nowhere.
Translation by I. Nalbandyan

Recognize the superiority of others, then - a husband,
If the master in his actions, then - the husband.
There is no honor in the humiliation of the one who is defeated,
Kind to those who have fallen in their misfortune, that means a husband!
Translation by N. Tenigina

If a mill, a bathhouse, a luxurious palace
Receives as a gift a fool and a scoundrel,
And the worthy goes into bondage because of bread -
I don't care about your justice, creator!
Translation by German Plisetsky

You, the Almighty, in my opinion, are greedy and old.
You strike the slave with blow after blow.
Paradise is the reward of the sinless for their obedience.
Would give me something not as a reward, but as a gift!
Translation by German Plisetsky

It is better to drink and caress cheerful beauties,
Than to look for salvation in fasting and prayers.
If a place in hell is for lovers and drunkards,
Then who will you order to admit to paradise?
Translation by German Plisetsky

Love is a fatal misfortune, but the misfortune is by the will of Allah.
Why do you condemn what is always - by the will of Allah.
A series of evil and good arose - by the will of Allah.
Why do we need the thunders and flames of the Judgment - by the will of Allah?
Translation by Vladimir Derzhavin

You are an atheist in soul with Scripture in your hand,
Though memorized letters in each line.
To no avail you hit the ground with your head,
Better hit the ground with everything that's in your head!
Translation by Alexander Shcherbakov

If I had power over this evil sky,
I'd crush it and replace it with another
So that there are no barriers to noble aspirations
And a person could live without longing.
Translation by German Plisetsky

No one has seen either paradise or hell;
Has anyone returned from there to our perishable world?
But these ghosts are barren for us
And the source of fears and hopes is unchanged.
Translation by Osip Rumer

The one who presents the world to the lucky ones as a gift,
The rest of the blow strikes
Do not grieve that you had less fun than others,
Be glad that less than others suffered.
Translation by German Plisetsky

Since the truth is always out of hand
Do not try to understand the incomprehensible, friend!
Take the cup in your hands, stay ignorant
There is no point, believe me, in the study of science!
Translation by German Plisetsky

"Hell and heaven are in heaven," say the bigots.
I looked into myself, I was convinced of a lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.

Be careful - the fate of the villain is near!
The sword of time is sharp, don't be a skygazer!
When fate puts halva in your mouth,
Beware, don't eat... Sugar is mixed with poison in it.
Translation by German Plisetsky

In my opinion, the statement is controversial. I want not just to argue with the great Eastern sage, but simply to look at this statement from the point of view of today's reality. It's great to be an idealist, to wait for great love, in which everything will be fine, to eat only healthy and high-quality products, but not everyone can afford it, by the way. Let's face it.

It seems to me that the need has come to write a rubaiyat-refutation of this well-worn truth, which is adopted by those who do not want to work on relationships and live in a fictional ideal world. And he suffers from this, by the way, because this world, invented by Khayyam and given out as the ultimate truth, is not at all like what actually surrounds us.

But what really?

By the way, the "king of the philosophers of East and West" was born in the family of an artisan and would never go through grubs, and would eat, like all other artisans, "whatever", that is, what would get if he had not been invited to the palace Sultan Malik Shah as an entourage. The Sultan entrusted the astronomer with the construction of the world's largest observatory and allowed him to study mathematics and poetry. Just fabulous conditions! Why not come up with the ideal formula for a wise life.

But Khayyam was “the most learned man of the century”, “the wisest of sages”… Can we boast of the same? Most of us are the same craftsman who makes tents and does not every day have caviar to spread on bread and butter. Face the truth, finally, and stop measuring yourself with the ideal standards of an oriental sage.

What do we really have?
Crowds of completely imperfect, uncomfortable, unpleasant, alien and dubious personalities.
Poor quality food: genetically modified, nitrate, artificial, surrogate, expired, poisoned.
Disgusting ecology.
Difficult relationships with people (almost everyone, even the best ones, at first glance).
Imperfection of the world, people, oneself.
The struggle for survival in the literal and figurative sense of the word, which does not add empathy to people.
The race for money, status, prestige, fame is an eternal competition and clash of interests.

By the way, the Sultan offered Omar Khayyam to become the ruler of his hometown of Nishapur. But the far-sighted sage, knowing full well that he would have to deal with everyday urban problems and their solution, with people, simple and imperfect, who were different from his rich and powerful patrons, and refused this offer. Who knows how the life of a sage would have turned out if he had not been lucky to be friends with the powers that be and if he had remained a poet among ordinary artisans.

Categorical and maximalism or tolerance and tolerance?

Perfect people don't exist and that's fine, in my opinion. Every person who surrounds us, at least someday, will fall into the category of unnecessary, uncomfortable, uncomfortable for someone. Why don't we live now? Isolate each other and wait for perfect partners and perfect relationships? The same eastern sage already in another poem again maximalistly states: “Whoever lives with a titmouse in his hands will definitely not find his firebird.” Thank you, grandfather Khayyam. Printed! “Definitely won’t find it ?!” Pip on your tongue, old man! You cut off all our wings.

Following this advice, you can chase the mythical crane all your life, without realizing that the titmouse, which was proposed to be held in your hands and which seemed gray and insignificant, was our real crane. Sometimes it happens!

Or maybe we should not chase cranes, but love. For warmth and consonance, for people to whom we could give part of our soul and help to become happy. Let these tits, in someone's opinion, seem not so brilliant, influential and tall, but they will be people close to us.

Love and friendship is not a search for pleasant people, it is a closeness in which everything can be: joy and happiness, pleasant and not very pleasant moments, kind and not too kind words and deeds.

Love is not an ideal beautiful fairy tale that brings only joy and lightness, it is life itself with all its difficulties, contradictions, mistakes and doubts. Love is never perfect, but if you have it in your heart, even the greatest difficulties can be overcome.

Love gives us faith in ourselves and people, no matter how imperfect they may be. By the way, sometimes we even love those who are far from ideal. We love not because they fly like cranes. But simply for the fact that they are in the world. Sometimes it's hard to explain why we love them. But this is the only thing that makes us truly wise and happy.

Poor man, did he think that his rubaiyats would suddenly be adopted by everyone in the literal sense and would use them to justify their inability to communicate with people and be tolerant and tolerant towards them. I would ask Khayyam: “What if a loved one does something unpleasant for me, behaves like “anyone”, offends, plays a fool, splashes the toilet ... Should I write him down in tits right away? Throw it out of your life and starve alone again?”

I wonder what the old man would say...

Over the years, the number of quatrains attributed to Khayyam grew and by the 20th century exceeded 5000. He reflects on God, but rejects church dogmas, in his poems there is irony and free thinking, the joy of life and the enjoyment of every minute of it. Perhaps all those who feared persecution for freethinking and blasphemy attributed their writings to Khayyam.

Although it is almost impossible to determine exactly which of the poems really belong to Khayyam (if he composed poetry at all), in the modern world Omar Khayyam is known precisely as a poet, the creator of original philosophical and lyrical quatrains - wise, full of humor and slyness.

Omar Khayyam - about life, happiness and love:

Having seen the frailty of the world, wait a minute to grieve!
Believe me: it’s not for nothing that the heart is pounding in the chest.
Do not grieve about the past: what was, then swam.
Do not worry about the future: the fog is ahead ...

Do not envy the one who is stronger and richer.
Sunset always comes with dawn.
With this life short, equal to a sigh,
Treat as with this one for rent.

Everything is bought and sold
And life openly laughs at us.
We are angry, we are angry
But we sell and buy...

They say that drunkards will go to hell.
All nonsense! If the drinkers were sent to hell,
Yes, all women lovers go there after them,
Empty as a palm, would be your garden of Eden.

Yes, in a woman, as in a book, there is wisdom.
Can understand the meaning of its great
Only literate. And don't get mad at the book
Kohl, ignorant, could not read it.

We are a source of fun - and a mine of sorrow.
We are a reservoir of filth - and a pure spring.
Man, as if in a mirror, the world has many faces.
He is insignificant - and he is immensely great!

Who was beaten by life, he will achieve more.
Having eaten a pood of salt, he appreciates honey more.
Who sheds tears, he sincerely laughs.
Who died, he knows that he lives ...

"Hell and heaven are in heaven," say the bigots.
I looked into myself, I was convinced of a lie:
Hell and heaven are not circles in the palace of the universe,
Hell and heaven are two halves of the soul.

Isn't it funny to save a penny for a whole century,
If you can't buy eternal life anyway?
This life was given to you, my dear, for a while, -
Try not to waste time.

To live life wisely, you need to know a lot,
Two important rules to remember to get started:
You'd rather starve than eat anything
And it's better to be alone than with just anyone.

Do no evil - it will return like a boomerang,
Do not 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 - over time you'll check
That you are betraying yourself with this lie.

The wind of life is sometimes fierce...
On the whole life is good though...
And it's not scary when black bread
It's scary when a black soul...

One does not understand what roses smell like.
Another of the bitter herbs will produce honey.
You give someone a trifle - they will remember forever.
You will give your life to someone, but he will not understand.
