“We are but a moment's sunlight fading in the grass”
— Omar Khayyam

Simplified Meaning:
Life is short and passes quickly, like a single moment of sunlight that fades away. Imagine standing outside on a sunny day. The sun feels warm and bright, making you happy, but soon the sun sets, and that warmth and light disappear. In the same way, our lives are brief and beautiful, and then they end. Think about how a flower blooms beautifully for a short time and then wilts. This is a reminder to make the most of each day because our time is limited. Spend time doing what you love, help others, and enjoy the small, fleeting moments. That way, even if life is short, it can still be filled with joy and meaning.
