Abstract :
There is a huge ambiguity about Khayyâm's poem, thoughts and personalities in comparison with other poets in Persian literature. Attributing some incompatible pomes to him increases this ambiguity. Because of the close relationship that Khayyâm had with the court and the government, he was well aware of the issues and problems which deprived the society from the public stability. The society in which Khayyam lived was the area of conflict and controversy of fanatics who rely on their opinions and they were followed by the acquisition of authority. In fact, the moral rules of society were based on the belief that the results were just arbitrary. Therefore, he used his quatrains as a manifest for his moral school and if we compare this school with the recent ones, we can find many similarities with the school of "originality of benefit". In his moral school, good or bad depend on its outcomes and how much enjoy they would bring. Khayyam was well aware of the importance and benefits of individual freedom in the progress of the society. Therefore, in his Rubaiyat, he was in research of breaking intellectual rigor atmosphere that had prevailed in society and tried to foster the tolerance spirit.
