The Quatrains Of Omar Khayyám - Gyan Books

About The Book: The Quatrains of Omar Khayyám by Edward Henry Whinfield is a scholarly English translation of 500 rubaiyat (four-line verses) originally written in Persian by Omar Khayyám, a 12th-century poet and philosopher. Whinfield’s 1883 edition presents the verses side by side with commentary, offering insight into Khayyám’s reflections on life, fate, time, love, and mortality. Unlike romanticized versions, this translation stays close to the original meaning, emphasizing Khayyám’s philosophical depth, skepticism, and subtle Sufi mysticism within a richly poetic framework.
