1. ما لِلخَيّامِ لجَّ في التأَنيبِ

    لِلخيمَة قَوَّضوا لَدى التَطنيبِ

    Why has Khayyam persisted in reproach?

    They dismantled the tent even as its guy ropes were being stretched.

  2. لا بُدَّ لذي الخيامِ أَن يَقلَعها

    مَهما حفر الجُيوشُ لِلتَشريبِ

    The owner of tents must pull them up,

    However much the armies have dug to provide water.
