Written by Omar Khayyam | Create an image from this poem

Me, cruel Queen! you love to captivate,

Me, cruel Queen! you love to captivate,
And from a knight to a poor pawn translate,
You marshal all your force to tire me out,
You take my rooks with yours, and then checkmate!


Written by Omar Khayyam | Create an image from this poem

O fair! whose cheeks checkmate red eglantine,

O fair! whose cheeks checkmate red eglantine,
And draw the game with those fair maids of Chin,
You played one glance against the king of Babil
And took his pawns, and knights, and rooks, and queen.
