THE URDU RUBA'IYAT A Sufi Anthology Translation & Introduction Paul Smith The ruba'i is a poem of four lines in which usually the first, second and fourth lines rhyme and sometimes with the radif (refrain) after the rhyme words... sometimes all four rhyme. It is composed in metres called ruba'i metres. Each ruba'i is a separate poem in itself and should not be regarded as a part of a long poem as was created by FitzGerald when he translated those he attributed to Omar Khayyam. Its origin is in Persia The ruba'i should be eloquent, spontaneous and ingenious. In the ruba'i the first three lines serve as an introduction to the fourth that should be sublime, subtle or pithy and clever.
