Quatrain 65 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
I ask, who is the one who raises my spirit?
The one who gave me life from the beginning.
Sometimes they close my eyes like a falconer closing a falcon's,
Sometimes they open them to hunt like a falcon.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Divine Lover: The poet is asking about the divine being or beloved who has given them life and spiritual guidance.
The Play of Creation: The imagery of closing and opening the eyes suggests the divine play of creation and the cycles of life and death.
Spiritual Awakening: The falcon imagery implies a state of spiritual alertness and a readiness to pursue spiritual truths.
