Quatrain 48 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
The heart said to the soul, O heir of both worlds,
From this work, what do you hope to gain?
Arise, so that we may go forth before the other,
Before the messenger comes who says, "Come!"
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Dialogue Between Heart and Soul: The heart and soul are personified and engaged in a conversation, representing the inner conflict or dialogue within the individual.
The Call to Action: The heart urges the soul to take action and move towards a higher state of being.
The Messenger: The "messenger" likely refers to death, which will inevitably come and call us to account for our actions.
The Urgency of the Moment: The speaker emphasizes the urgency of seeking spiritual enlightenment before it is too late.
