“The world will perish and all things pass”
— Omar Khayyam

Simplified Meaning:
Everything in life comes to an end eventually. Just like how flowers bloom and then wither away, or how a summer day turns into night, nothing lasts forever. This idea can be seen in how even great empires, like the Roman Empire, once powerful and seemingly unshakeable, eventually fell. It reminds us that both good times and bad times will pass. If you are happy, cherish the moment. If you are going through tough times, hang in there because it won’t last forever. Understanding this can help you appreciate what you have now and not worry too much about what you can't control. Remembering that everything changes can make it easier to deal with life's ups and downs.
