I fell in love with Omar Khyyam's poems when I was a teen, long, long ago. The beauty and truth in his poems have stayed with me, helped me through life.

Very Lovely and Positive Poems

Omar Khayyam is one of the best sufi poet of his genre, his Rubaiyat which is our line poems are full of wisdom and his experiences with life. The more you read his work, you will fall in love with his poems which are near to your daily life.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE RUBAIYAT STORY

Omar Khayyam was a most voluptuous Persian poet who stunned the literati of the Western world; he is remembered chiefly for his overflowing emotionalism in which is deeply drenched his poetic works. Decades earlier I had read Khayyam and was really upgraded in my emotions. Rose, Lips, Cup, Cup-server, Rolling Eyes symbolize something practical in life in Khayyam's poetry.
