The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

Omar Khayyám

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám — Edward FitzGerald’s celebrated English rendering of quatrains attributed to the Persian poet and scholar Omar Khayyám. The verses meditate on life’s brevity, passing time, and uncertain fate while urging the reader to embrace love, companionship, wine, and the present moment in a world without lasting certainty.
