Quatrain 138 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
That king who did not flee from the ill-tempered servants,
Nor did He flee from a hundred of your rudenesses and crimes,
Do not call His kindness a favor, the ocean speaks of it,
The black devil fled from us, but He did not flee.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Divine King: The poet refers to a divine king or God, who is patient and forgiving.
Human Imperfections: The "servants" and "rudenesses" represent human imperfections and sins.
Divine Mercy: The king's patience and forgiveness are compared to the vastness of the ocean, emphasizing the boundless nature of divine mercy.
The Contrast of Good and Evil: The contrast between the divine king and the "black devil" highlights the eternal struggle between good and evil.
