1. A loaf of bread and a
Sweet face

2. And a cup of wine
That is Eden's paradise

3. In Khayyam's perspective
They said: and you'll be called upon a day

4. What do you desire in your hands
Leave one request alone

5. And the other two are yours
So he deliberated between a loaf

6. If he missed it, he'd die of hunger
And a radiant face

7. If absent, all would be absent
And a cup of wine

8. That aids against misery
If not for its intoxicating deception

9. He'd awaken a fool
His hesitation in it was prolonged

10. So he turned away, gloomy
He asked for eternal paradise

11. And did not ask for hell
They said: then a voice called out to him

12. Saying without gentleness
Like the voice of Iblis, if not

13. For its excessive honesty
Is that eternal paradise

14. That you rave about, oh wise one
With a request, if missing it
