Quatrain 153 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
The earring in my ear knows more of my heart
Than my heart knows of all other rings.
The heavens above and below are full of his sorrow,
Every atom, like the sun, is above and below.
Analysis of the Quatrains
The Knowing Earring: This is a striking metaphor. The earring, a seemingly inanimate object, is imbued with a sense of awareness and understanding.
Universal Sorrow: The quatrain suggests that the beloved's sorrow is so pervasive that it permeates the entire cosmos.
Paradox of the Sun: The image of the sun being both above and below is a paradox that hints at the limitless and all-encompassing nature of the beloved's presence.
