What is a rubaiyat?

March 16, 2022 by Pamela Landy

Rubaiyat is the plural of the Persian word meaning “a poem of four lines.”

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam of Naishapur is a poem composed of such quatrains.

The twelfth-century Persian poem was translated freely into English by Edward FitzGerald in 1859.
