Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Meet poetry of world-wide famous outstanding Iranian mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher effortlessly and conveniently.

The extension shows rubai from hayamwiki.org every time you open a new tab and provides you the possibility to compare metaphrase (word-by-word translation) with translations made by poets and philologists over the past 200 years.

Now the site's database contains metaphrases by A. Christensen (1927) and E. Heron-Allen (1898) and translations by E.H. Whinfield (1883), E. Fitzgerald (1859), E.F. Thompson (1906) and H.M. Cadell (1899).

Hayam's legacy is translated into more than fifty languages, and we are going to collect all of them ever being published.

Feel free to contact us if you like to help us updating the database or to share your improvement ideas.

Your feedback and help is strongly needed.
