Quatrain 27 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
This fire of love is baking us,
Every night it drags us to the tavern,
It seats us with the people of the tavern,
So that no one outside the tavern knows us.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Fire of Love: The "fire of love" is a metaphor for the intense passion and longing associated with love, often used spiritually to represent divine love.
The Tavern: In Rumi's poetry, the tavern often symbolizes a place of spiritual seeking, a place where the soul meets the divine.
The People of the Tavern: These are the spiritual seekers, those who are on a journey of love and understanding.
Seclusion from the World: The final line suggests a desire for seclusion from the world, a focus on the inner spiritual journey.
