What is it of your business?!

Oh devotee! If I'm bad and drunk, what is it of your business?
If the cup of wine is in my hand, what is it of your business?

If you are sitting in the corner of altar, does anybody ask you why?
Now that I'm sitting in the corner of pub, what is it of your business?

If you are busy with prayers, what does it have to do with me?
And if I'm drunk all night to dawn, what is it of your business?

If the fire of hell is intended for you and me,
if you are dry, what is it of my business and if I'm wet, what is it of your business?!

"Khayyam"



زاهدا من که خراباتی و مستم به تو چه؟
 ساغر و باده بود بر سر دستم به تو چه؟

تو اگر گوشه ی محراب نشستی صنمی گفت چرا؟ 
من اگر گوشه ی میخانه نشستم به تو چه؟

آتش دوزخ اگر قصد ِ تو و ما بکند 
تو که خشکی چه به من/من که تر هستم به تو چه؟

"خیام"
