Rubai is a poetry style, the Arabic term for "quatrain". It is used to describe a Persian quatrain, or its derivative form in English and other languages. The plural form of the word, rubaiyat, often anglicised rubaiyat, is used to describe a collection of such quatrains.
There are a number of possible rhyme schemes to the rubaiyat form, e.g. AABA, AAAA. In Persian verse, a rubai visually contains only four lines, its rhyme falling at the middle and end of the lines.
