Özet:

Umar K̲h̲ayyam (1048-1132) was born in Nishapur in Iran, received his education in Samarkand, and after travelling to cities such as Balkh, Marw and Herāt, he lived in Isfahan until the death of Malik-Shah, the sultan of the Seljuk Empire. Having founded an observatory in Isfahan and making various researches about sky, meteorology and valuable mines, K̲h̲ayyam produced books about creation and existence, and he was interested in algebra, geometry, astronomy, physics, medicine and music. The rubais of K̲h̲ayyam, who later became famous thanks to his philosophy and his poetry, have unique literary characteristics. He wrote with a concise yet complete tone, and though he used a simple language he addressed quite deep matters. Starting from the 19th century, due to the increase in the interest to the rubais of K̲h̲ayyam, many articles have been written about rubais and many translations of the rubais have been made. His rubais, which are sincere, vivid, laconic, timeless, regenerating and formed with ability in poetry and good taste of arts, have been composed and today these are commonly known. In order to analyse these attention-grabbing works and to show how influential these have been, we wanted to compare translations into Turkish with original Persian version.
