Quatrain 30 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
With love, our mount has journeyed forth from non-existence,
Our night is illuminated by the wine of union.
From that wine which is not forbidden in our religion,
Until the dawn of non-existence, our lips will not dry.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Journey of the Soul: The "mount" here symbolizes the soul, and its journey from "non-existence" suggests a spiritual awakening or enlightenment.
The Wine of Union: The "wine" is a metaphor for divine love or spiritual ecstasy. It illuminates the night, suggesting that it brings light and understanding to the soul.
The Forbidden Wine: The wine is not forbidden in the "religion" of love, implying that this spiritual pursuit is not against any divine law.
Eternal Union: The desire for the lips to never dry from this wine suggests a longing for eternal union with the divine.
