The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

One of the greatest of the wise men of Khorassan was the Imam Mowaffak of Naishapur, a man highly honored and reverenced,—may God rejoice his soul; his illustrious years exceeded eighty-five, and it was the universal belief that every boy who read the Koran or studied the traditions in his presence, would assuredly attain to honor and happiness.

霍拉桑最伟大的智者之一是内沙布尔的伊玛目莫瓦法克，一个备受尊敬和崇敬的人——愿上帝使他的灵魂快乐；他那杰出的年岁超过了八十五岁，普遍认为每个在他在场时读《古兰经》或学习传统的男孩，都一定会获得荣誉和幸福。

Years rolled on, and I went from Khorassan to Transoxiana, and wandered to Ghazni and Cabul; and when I returned, I was invested with office, and rose to be administrator of affairs during the Sultanate of Sultan Alp Arslan.

岁月流逝，我从霍拉桑前往河中地区，游历至加兹尼和喀布尔；当我返回时，我被授予了职位，并在阿尔普·阿尔斯兰苏丹的统治下成为了事务的管理者。
