Omar Khayyam and rubaiyat poetry: Omar Khayyam, or Ghiyath al-Din Abu’l-Fath Umar ibn Ibrahim al-Khayyami, was a 11th- and 12th-century Persian poet, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher. He is best known for his rubaiyat, or quatrains, which are short poems that consist of four lines with a specific rhyme scheme. Omar Khayyam’s rubaiyat are remarkable for their originality, wit, and skepticism, and their expression of his views on life, death, fate, and free will. Omar Khayyam’s rubaiyat were popularized in the West by the 19th-century English poet Edward FitzGerald, who translated and adapted them into English.
