Quatrain 135 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Your shadow is our dwelling place, our home,
And your tresses are the bonds of our mad hearts.
In every corner, there is a candle and two or three moths,
But not like the candle, we are the moths.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Beloved as a Refuge: The poet presents the beloved's shadow as a place of solace and refuge.
The Bond of Love: The beloved's hair is symbolized as a bond that ties the lover's heart.
The Metaphor of the Moth: The comparison of the lover to a moth drawn to a flame symbolizes the intense longing and devotion of the lover.
