Remembering Omar Khayyam: 10 Rubaiyat by the poet on his birth anniversary

Omar Khayyam Quotes, Poems, Books: Omar Khayyam wrote more than a thousand ‘Rubaiyat’ or verses and a part of his work was later translated by Edward Fitzgerald which became popular in the West centuries after his death. We take a look at some of his Rubaiyat on the occasion of his 971th birthday.

His full name, as it appears in the Arabic sources, was Abu’l Fath Omar ibn Ibrāhīm al-Khayyām.
