The "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" is a collection of quatrains (four-line poems) attributed to the Persian poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam. Written in the 11th century, these verses explore themes of love, life, and the fleeting nature of existence. The work reflects a philosophical outlook, often emphasizing the importance of living in the moment. Translated into many languages, the "Rubaiyat" gained popularity in the 19th century, particularly through the English translation by Edward FitzGerald. This version introduced Khayyam's thoughts to a wider audience, influencing literature and art. The poems continue to resonate with readers for their timeless wisdom and beauty.
