The rubai is a four-line stanza with a rhyme scheme of AABA. It is one of the most popular forms of Persian poetry and has been used by many famous poets, including Rumi, Omar Khayyam, and Hafez.

An example of a rubai is:

در باغ راز گلی شکفته است
زیبا، دلربا، چونان خورشید
برگش رنگین، عطر دلنواز
درختش همیشه سرسبز

(In the garden of secrets, a flower has bloomed
Beautiful, charming, like the sun
Its leaves are colorful, its fragrance enchanting
The tree is always verdant)
