Collection of quatrains from Omar Khayyam's Rubalyyat and Sadequain Naggash. Sadequain Naggash was an artist, poet and thinker. Over Sadequain's lifetime he painted over 15,000 pieces of art and composed thousands of four line quatrains. In this book there are several examples of unigue drawings as well has his verses written in his own handwriting. These represent his act of defiance and drive to reveal the layers of hypocrisy draped around the so called cultural elite. Omar Khayyam was a Persian poet, mathematician and Astronomer (1048-1131). A ruba'i is a two line stanza with two parts (or hemistaechs) per line, hence the word Rubaiyat (from the Arabic root word for 4), meaning quatrains. the translation of Khayyam's Quatrains depend on the translator's interpretations of Khayyam's philosophy.
