why does khayyam most likely use the word ours in the first line of the poem

Sagot :

In Omar Khayyam's "RUBAIYAT OF OMAR KHAYYAM," Edward Fitzgerald noted that pupils of Imam Mowaffak believed that they would all become fabulously rich in this world.

But since there is no certainty in this, the author asks what becomes of the fate of those who could not attain wealthy statuses, despite their strong belief.

Thus, the word "ours" in the first line of the poem refers to the pupils who may fail to become rich, notwithstanding that they strongly believed and hoped for their teacher's lessons to become real in their lives.
