Awake! - Rendering Omar Khayyam Poem by Ravi Kopra

Awake! - Rendering Omar Khayyam



Get up, get up, it's the end of night
I already heard the roosters' cry
The sunshine on the Sultan's turret is bright
Let's head to the tavern. Don't ask why.

***

I.
Awake! for Morning in the Bowl of Night
Has flung the Stone that puts the Stars to Flight:
And Lo! the Hunter of the East has caught
The Sultan's Turret in a Noose of Light.
