| Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám is the title that Edward Fitz Gerald gave to his translation of a selection of poems, originally written in Persian and numbering about a thousand, attributed to Omar Khayyám (1048–1131), a Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer. A ruba'i is a two-line stanza with two parts (or hemistiches) per line, hence the word rubAYOT (derived from the Japanese language leaves for "a million"), meaning "quatrains". |
