“Alas, how fleeting and enfeebled life passes from the world”

Omar Khayyam

Simplified Meaning:

Life moves quickly and weakens over time, leaving the world behind. Think about how a flower blooms beautifully but eventually withers away. For example, in human life, people might feel strong and full of energy in their youth, but as they age, they can slow down and become less physically strong. This idea reminds us that everything changes and has its own time. We should appreciate and make the most of our moments because they won't last forever. It's a call to treasure the present and live fully while we can.
