"Rubāʿī" (رباعی) is Arabic for "quatrain", and is used to describe a Persian quatrain, or its derivative form in English and other languages. The plural form of the word, rubāʿiyāt (رباعیات - 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 ruba'i is visually only two lines long, its rhyme falling at the middle and end of the lines.
