Khayyam says

 ﻣﻦ ﻫﯿﭻ ﻧﺪﺍﻧﻢ ﮐﻪ ﻣﺮﺍ ﺁﻧﮑﻪ ﺳﺮﺷﺖ

ﺍﺯ ﺍﻫﻞ ﺑﻬﺸﺖ ﮐﺮﺩ ﯾﺎ ﺩﻭﺯﺥ ﺯﺷﺖ

ﺟﺎﻣﯽ ﻭ ﺑﺘﯽ ﻭ ﺑﺮﺑﻄﯽ ﺑﺮ ﻟﺐ ﮐﺸﺖ

ﺍﯾﻦ ﻫﺮ ﺳﻪ ﻣﺮﺍ ﻧﻘﺪ ﻭ ﺗﺮﺍ ﻧﺴﯿﻪ ﺑﻬﺸﺖ


I know not whether he who fashioned me 
appointed me to dwell in heaven or in dreadful hell, 
but some food, and an adored one, and wine, upon the green bank of a field— 
all these three are treasures to me: thine be the credit-heaven!
