RUMI Ruba'iyat Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Here are 330 wonderful ruba'is of the great Spiritual Master of the 13th century, who has become today the most popular poet in the world, Jelal ad-din Rumi. They are powerful, spiritual and full of joy, bliss and understanding. Unlike those of Omar Khayyam's these are poems composed by a soul before and after gaining God-realization. Included in the Introduction is the life of Rumi, a history of the ruba'i poetic form and translated examples by its greatest exponents. Bibliography. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept and the beauty and meaning of these immortal four-line poems. 368 pages.
