Quatrain 124 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Those eyes, raised high, have been seeking a glimpse,
So that you don't suspect that the turmoil has fallen asleep.
You caused a hundred rivers to flow from our eyes yesterday,
Look today, and you'll see that a hundred rivers have flowed.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Watchful Eyes: The poet describes the beloved's eyes as constantly searching, perhaps for a sign or a confirmation of the lover's devotion.
The Turmoil of Love: The "turmoil" refers to the emotional upheaval and passion associated with love. The beloved is ensuring that this passion is not diminishing.
The Tears: The image of a hundred rivers flowing from the lover's eyes emphasizes the depth of their emotional pain or longing.
