Quatrain 87 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
O heart, don't sleep for two or three nights until dawn,
In the separation from the sun, like a moon eclipsed.
Like a bucket in this darkness, what path would it take?
Perhaps you will rise to the top of the well, O sleeper.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Heart as a Seeker: The heart is addressed directly, personified as a seeker on a spiritual journey.
Separation from the Divine: The "sun" symbolizes the divine, and the "moon" represents the heart in its absence.
The Well of Existence: The "well" can be interpreted as a symbol of the depths of existence or the spiritual journey.
The Ascent: The final line suggests a hope for spiritual ascent and enlightenment.
