Robaei
Robaei is a Persian poetic form that consists of a quatrain, or four lines, with a rhyme scheme of either AABA or AAAA. The word ruba’i means “four” in Arabic, and the plural form of ruba’i is rubaiyat, which is often used to refer to a collection of quatrains.
Some famous examples of rubaiyat are the ones attributed to Omar Khayyam, a 12th-century Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer. His quatrains were translated into English by Edward FitzGerald in the 19th century, and became very popular and influential in Western literature

ای دوست حقیقت شنو از من سخنی
با بادهٔ لعل باش و با سیم تنی
کانکس که جهان کرد فراغت دارد
از سبلت چون تویی و ریش چو منی

Be with ruby wine and a silver-body beloved.
For he who created the world has leisure
From the mustache of yours and a beard like mine.

ایدل تو به اسرار معما نرسی
در نکته زیرکان دانا نرسی

Whether or not you reach the heavenly paradise beyond.

در سایه گل نشین که بسیار این گل
