Quatrain 154 from Rubaiyat of Rumi
Description: English Translation of the Quatrain
In friendship with my beloved, I can't contain myself in my skin,
I can't contain myself in my skin, for my lover is very unkind.
The beloved never comes to the lover's desire,
The beloved always increases the lover's longing.
Analysis of the Quatrains
Ecstatic Love: The first two lines express the overwhelming nature of the lover's passion, causing them to feel restless and out of place.
Unrequited Love: The third and fourth lines highlight the theme of unrequited love, suggesting that the beloved often seems indifferent or even cruel to the lover.
Paradox of Love: There's a paradoxical element to the quatrain. The lover's pain is intensified by the very object of their desire, suggesting a masochistic aspect to love.
