The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Omar Khayyám

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Persian: رباعیات عمر خیام) is the title that Edward Fitz-Gerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and of which there are about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. A Persian ruba’i is a two-line stanza with two parts (or hemis-techs) per line, hence the word “Rubáiyát” (derived from the Arabic root word for “four”), meaning “quatrains”.
