Quatrain 93 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Without a cup, wine is wine in this circle,
Without smoke, the heart is burning in this flame,
The cry of the lover's rebab is from the stroke of his bow,
Beware, do not say that it is just a rebab.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Spiritual Wine and Fire: The "wine" and "fire" are not literal but symbolize spiritual experiences and the intensity of love.
The Lover's Rebab: The "rebab" is a stringed instrument, often associated with Sufi mystics. Here, it symbolizes the heart of the lover.
The Depth of Experience: The poet suggests that the experiences of love and spiritual ecstasy are far deeper and more profound than mere physical sensations.
