Quatrain 102 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Glory be to God, you and I, in this beautiful garden,
Are constantly opposing each other in every matter.
I am your fortune, for I never sleep,
You are my fortune, for you never wake.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Paradoxical Relationship: The poet and the beloved are in a constant state of opposition, yet their destinies are intertwined.
The Vigilant Lover: The speaker claims to be ever-watchful, symbolizing their constant yearning and devotion.
The Sleeping Beloved: The beloved is depicted as always asleep, perhaps symbolizing their obliviousness to the lover's passion or a deeper mystical state.
