Quatrain 123 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
That place and beauty that illuminates the world,
And that hidden form that is the day of ecstasy,
Today, since it is with us, let us hang on to it,
Yesterday has gone and the day before yesterday has gone; today is the day.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Illuminating Beauty: The poet is describing a place or a being that brings light and joy to the world.
The Hidden Form: This "hidden form" is associated with ecstasy and joy. It suggests a deeper, spiritual beauty that is not immediately apparent.
Seizing the Moment: The poet urges the reader to appreciate and cherish the present moment, as past moments are gone and the future is uncertain.
