Omar Khayyam Accused of Plagiarism LOST AND FOUND ROOMS FOR RENT By CAL SAMRA By Allah! -- Omar Khayyam, Persian poet-advocate of wine, women and song, has been accus- ed of plagiarism. The accusation comes from one Mohammed Majadara, '53, a Le- banese student who has made a careful study of Omar's popular "Rubaiyat," comparing it with the "Luzumiyat" of Abu'l-Ala'l-Ma'- arri, a practically unknown Arab poet of the same century. MAJADARA FOUND that the verse of the 11th century libertine resembles-in style and thought-- the work of Abu'l-Ala. The fact that Abu'l-Ala preceded Omar by half a century leads Majadara to believe that the latter copied his style and ideas. Acording to Majadara, both poets were fatalists and sceptics; both ranted against religion; both were unbelievers; and both New Extension CLASSIFIEDS wrote anthologies in quatrains of identical metrical rhythms. Majadara cited the following quatrains as examples of their ap- parent similarity: On religion, Omar says: "The mightly Mahmud, Allah- breathing Lord, That all the misbelieving and black horde Of Fears and Sorrows that in- fest the Soul Scatters before, him with his whirlwind sword." 4, * * life is fleeting-"dust to dust and clay to clay." * * * ON THE matter of morals, Omar said: "the world being fleeting, I practice naught but artifice." This, according to Majadara, is an echo of Abu'l-Ala's "Why do good, since thou art to be forgiven for thy sins?" As for style and meaning, Maja- dara recommends comparing these two quatrains: Omar: "And this reviving Her, whose Tender Green Fledges the River-Lip, on which we lean- Ah, lean upon, it lightly! for who knows From what one lovely Lip it springs unseen." Abu'l-Ala: "Tread lightly, for the mighty that have been Might now be breathing in the dust unseen; Lightly, the violets beneath thy feet Spring from the mole of some Arabian queen." However, there is one essential difference between the two poets, Majadara pointed out. "Whereas Khayyam wants to make the most of his time, Abu'l-Ala, who was blind, cared little for wine and wo- men. The latter's only satisfaction was his quest for 'Truth,' but he remained a skeptic all his life."
