Khayyam's quatrains
Khayyam's quatrains are four-line poems that explore themes of life's fleeting nature, the beauty of the present moment, and the pursuit of happiness. They often reflect on mortality, questioning the meaning of existence and urging appreciation of life's simple pleasures. His verses blend philosophical insight with a sense of irony, encouraging readers to live fully without overthinking the inevitable end. Through vivid imagery and concise language, Khayyam invites reflection on the transient, mysterious aspects of life and the importance of savoring each moment.
