Quatrain 29 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O you who have taken a drink from our cup,
You will become so intoxicated that you will see the night as day.
O you who have fled from the door of our faith,
Your ears will be scorched by separation until we are consumed by fire.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Cup of Love: The "cup" here symbolizes the spiritual path or the teachings of the beloved. Taking a drink suggests being initiated into this spiritual path.
Intoxication and Vision: The intoxication is not literal but spiritual. It refers to a state of divine ecstasy or enlightenment where one perceives reality differently.
Fleeing the Faith: The "faith" here refers to the spiritual path or the love for the beloved. Fleeing suggests a turning away from this path.
The Pain of Separation: The "scorched ears" and "consumed by fire" are metaphors for the intense pain and longing experienced by those separated from the beloved.
