Quatrain 75 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O traveler, where is your journey’s destination?
Wherever you go, you are seated in our hearts.
Such a sea of sorrow is yours, like a fish,
It splashes your parched lips in the sea.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Universal Journey: The poem addresses a "traveler," symbolizing the journey of life or the spiritual quest.
The Beloved's Presence: Regardless of where the traveler goes, their beloved is always present in their heart.
The Sea of Sorrow: The image of a sea of sorrow suggests the depths of emotional turmoil or the challenges faced on the spiritual path.
The Paradox of Desire: The traveler, despite being surrounded by sorrow, seeks solace in the very thing that causes their pain.
