I Wake! For the Sun, who scatter'd into flight The Stars before him from the Field of Night, Drives Night along with them from Heav'n, and strikes The Sultan's Turret with a Shaft of Light. II Before the phantom of False morning died, Methought a Voice within the Tavern cried, "When all the Temple is prepared within, Why nods the drowsy Worshipper outside?" III And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted"Open then the Door! You know how little while we have to stay, And, once departed, may return no more." IV Now the New Year reviving old Desires, The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires, Where the White Hand Of Moses on the Bough Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires.

A literal translation of the name al-Khayyami (or al-Khayyam) means 'tent maker' and this may have been the trade of Ibrahim his father. Khayyam played on the meaning of his own name when he wrote:- Khayyam, who stitched the tents of science, Has fallen in grief's furnace and been suddenly burned, The shears of Fate have cut the tent ropes of his life, And the broker of Hope has sold him for nothing! The political events of the 11 th Century played a major role in the course of Khayyam's life. The Seljuq Turks were tribes that invaded southwestern Asia in the 11 th Khayyam studied philosophy at Naishapur and one of his fellow students wrote that he was:- ... endowed with sharpness of wit and the highest natural powers ... However, this was not an empire in which those of learning, even those as learned as Khayyam, found life easy unless they had the support of a ruler at one of the many courts. Even such patronage would not provide too much stability since local politics and the fortunes of the local military regime decided who at any one time held power. Khayyam himself described the difficulties for men of learning during this period in the introduction to his

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 ... Page 6 The Rubaiyat Depending on the sources of reference that one chooses, Omar Khayyam is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains). Some are known to be authentic and are attributed to him, while others seem to be combinations or corruption of his poetry, and whose origins are more dubious. The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is among the few masterpieces that has been translated into most languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, and Urdu. The most famous translation of the Rubaiyat from Farsi into English was undertaken in 1859 by Edward J. Fitzgerald. It appears that in many of his translations, he has combined a few of the Rubaiyat to compose one, and sometimes it is difficult to trace and correspond the original to the translated version. However, he has tried his utmost to adhere to the spirit of the original poetry. The Farsi collection presented in this web page is almost universally believed to be authentic and or his own original composition. At this time, it does not include all the Rubaiyat, though a significant proportion. For the benefit of the non-Farsi speaking reader, I have included two translations. One is as a literal translation, with the aim of conveying the wording of the original poetry, leaving it to the reader to draw his/her own conclusions. And another is a "meaning" translation, with the intention of conveying the spirit of the poetry to the reader, (at least as understood by this author.)

6. Omar Khayyam omar khayyam and a. by. June Jones. About 900 years ago, omar khayyam, thePersian poet and mathematician, found a geometric solution of a cubic. http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/emt669/Student.Folders/Jones.June/omar/omarpaper.html

Omar Khayyam and a Geometric Solution of the Cubic by June Jones About 900 years ago, Omar Khayyam, the Persian poet and mathematician, found a geometric solution of a cubic. He solved a cubic in the form x3 +a2x = b by using a pair of intersecting conic sections. The figures in this essay were created on Algebra Xpresser but the TI-81 or 82 would be appropriate also. With one of these or the grapher or software of choice, the reader may recreate this ancient procedure. As you perform the following steps, vary the values of a and b. 1.) Construct a parabola of the form x2 = ay. 2.) Draw a semicircle with diameter AC = b/a2 on the x-axis. Let P be the point of intersection with the parabola. 3.) Drop a perpendicular from P to the x-axis to produce a point Q. Your basic figure should look like the one pictured below. It has been labeled so that an example can be looked at before we tackle the general case. It is set up with a = 1 and b = 2. Thus AQ = 1, AC = 2, and QP = 1. Our cubic for this example becomes x3 + x = 2. x2 = ay P A Q C We already know that the real number solution to x3 + x = 2 is 1. On the figure we see two places that this value occurs. Let's try another example and see if one of these locations might be the solution we are seeking. The reader can tentatively verify the values by using the software tracer.

10. Omar Khayyam And Max Stirner Article by H. Ibrahim Turkdogan, using his personal experience with the writings of Khayyam and Stirner to build a bridge between Eastern and Western thought. http://www.blancmange.net/tmh/articles/maxomar.html

Omar Khayyam and Max Stirner A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE ORIENT AND THE OCCIDENT Those who mean to understand poetry will have to visit the land of poetry. Those who mean to understand J.W. von Goethe Preface It was years later that I did not only begin to understand Chajjam as a poet, but also as a poet-philosopher. Naturally I also began broadening my knowledge of eastern and oriental philosophies as well as western philosophies. This enabled me to look through the traditional, i.e. strictly rational mode of thinking. Stirner had criticized this mode of thinking, which has no likes Stirner was right when declaring this nation to be one tyrannizing her children. 2 Ecce Homo. Edited by Kroener 1990, p. 339 It sounds very mystical and promising, but the sounds of his words suggested a golden cage, which was hard to escape from. Heidegger himself: something existi ng as an object turned into something existing as a thought, stayed there and did not proceed any further. And Heidegger himself, some being whose structure of existence being a limited One only amounts to Being-In-The-World . The basic structures of his concrete Ego as One in an objective world of things permit him to sneer at the animal inside himself in order to cope with it, in order to defeat it. The abstract object changed into a concrete subject by means of perpetual thought processes. It became a subject, which only vegetated as a prisoner of a particular logic in the dusk of occidental gods. The victory of the speaking animal, that

ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES IMAD-AD-DEAN AHMAD Minaret of Freedom Institute 4323 Rosedale Avenue Bethesda, MD 20814 USA Delivered to the Third International Conference on the Inspiration of Astronomical Phenomena, Mondell, Sicily, January, 2001 ABSTRACT. Omar Khayyam was both an astronomer and a poet. We examine the astronomical references in different translations of his poetry and in Elihu Vedder's illustrations of the first American edition of Edward Fitzgerald's famous translation as the takeoff points for discussing the controversy as to the meaning of his poetry and the differences in culture between 11th-century Iran where he wrote them and 19th-century Britain and America where Fitzgerald and Vedder respectively were born. Coming from a society in which science and religion are viewed as antagonists, Fitzgerald misconstrued Omar’s poetry as a materialist diatribe against religious belief. Like all great poetry, Omar’s verse is so deep and so rich in meaning that it can be understood on many different levels and in different ways. Thus, many people from atheists to Christian clerics, from materialists to mystics, have professed that Omar is one of them. Speaking as an astronomer, I can say without fear of contradiction, that Omar was definitely "one of us." For that reason it is appropriate for this meeting to take a look at the astronomical allusions in his poetry and compare how their interpretation is affected by cultural context. I here focus on the literary translations of the Iranian-American scholar Ahmad Saidi (1991) and the British poet Edward Fitzgerald and the artistic interpretations of the American artist Elihu Vedder who illustrated the first American edition of the Rubaiyat (Fitzgerald 1884). Given the location of this conference, I should mention that Vedder executed his illustrations during his lengthy stay in Italy in the early 1880’s. My research has also been informed by reviewing a number of literal translations, notably those of Graves and Ali-Shah (1967) and Arberry (1952).

Best viewed with Free Software Omar Khayyam UserPreferences Up from Earth's centre through the Seventh Gate I rose, and on the throne of Saturn sate, And many knots unravel'd by the road; But not the knot of human death and fate. Abu ol-Fath ebn-Ebrahim 'Omar ol-Khayyami of Nishapur The Rubaiyat in English Edward FitzGerald's 19th century translation of the Rubaiyat is the only English translation currently in the public domain (and the only one you can easily find on the Web). Unfortunately, this is probably one of the least accurate translations ever made. Some of FitzGerald's translations are only vaguely related to the originals, some are simply made up. FitzGerald himself referred to his work as "transmogrification". It does give you the feeling of Khayyam, though, and is makes a very pleasant reading, so it might be a good place to start. If you are interested in more accurate renderings, see the translation by Robert Graves and Omar Ali-Shah (London : Cassell, 1968) or by by Peter Avery and John Heath-Stubbs (London : A. Lane, 1979).

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Edward FitzGerald's Translation. 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. Dreaming when Dawn's Left Hand was in the Sky I heard a Voice within the Tavern cry, "Awake, my Little ones, and fill the Cup "Before Life's Liquor in its Cup be dry." And, as the Cock crew, those who stood before The Tavern shouted"Open then the Door! "You know how little while we have to stay, "And, once departed, may return no more." Now the New Year reviving old Desires, The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires, Where the WHITE HAND OF MOSES on the Bough Puts out, and Jesus from the Ground suspires. Iram indeed is gone with all its Rose, And Jamshyd's Sev'n-ring'd Cup where no one knows; But still the Vine her ancient Ruby yields, And still a Garden by the Water blows. And David's Lips are lock't; but in divine
