"The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" is a renowned collection of quatrains (four-line verses) attributed to the Persian polymath Omar Khayyam, who lived from 1048 to 1131. The most famous English translation by Edward FitzGerald, first published in 1859, brought these verses to a broader audience. The work explores themes of love, nature, and the transience of life, often reflecting a hedonistic and philosophical perspective. FitzGerald's translation is celebrated for its lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, capturing Khayyam's meditations on existence and the human condition​.
