Quatrain 150 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
Because your heart has erected a net of deceit,
It has cast both you and itself out of the eye of mercy.
Like Pharaoh, you have failed to recognize God,
And like lightning, you have consumed the world.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Net of Deceit: The first line refers to a heart that is trapped in deception and self-deception.
Loss of Mercy: The second line suggests that this deceit has led to a separation from divine mercy.
Pharaoh as an Example: The comparison to Pharaoh is significant. Pharaoh, in Islamic tradition, is a symbol of arrogance and denial of God.
Consumption by Fire: The final line uses the image of lightning to symbolize a destructive force, suggesting the consequences of such denial.
