رباعیات عمر خیام

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Persian: رباعیات عمر خیام ) is the title that Edward FitzGerald 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 rubai is a two-line stanza with two parts (or hemistichs) per line, hence the word rubáiyát (derived from the Arabic language root for four), meaning quatrains.
