Quatrain 59 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
If you don't carry the scent of wine in this street, don't come.
If you don't wet your garments in this stream, don't come.
That other side, from which all directions come,
Be that side and don't come to this side.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Invitation and Exclusion: The quatrain seems to be an invitation to a specific kind of person, while at the same time excluding others.
The Symbolic Meanings: The "wine" and the "stream" are often symbolic in Sufi poetry, representing divine love or spiritual intoxication.
The Ultimate Reality: The "other side" refers to a higher spiritual realm or the ultimate reality.
The Call to Transcendence: The final line invites the reader to transcend the material world and unite with the divine.
