Quatrain 24 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O friend, we are your companions in friendship,
Wherever you step, we are your ground.
In the religion of love, how can it be allowed
That we see your world but not you?
Analysis of the Quatrains
Companionship in Friendship: The poet expresses a deep and intimate connection with the beloved, stating they are constant companions.
The Ground Beneath One's Feet: This suggests a foundational level of support and connection. The beloved is seen as the very ground upon which the speaker stands.
The Religion of Love: Love is elevated to the status of a religion, suggesting its profound and all-encompassing nature.
The Paradox of Seeing: The final line presents a paradox. The speaker sees the beloved's world, their creation, but cannot directly perceive the beloved themselves. This could be a reference to the mystical experience of seeing the divine in all things, yet struggling to directly perceive the divine itself.
