1. They say the two poets died, yet grief did not depart,
And the people of the two horizons mourned for them.

2. The two assemblies did not let me attend their place,
Though I am the richest of friends without their invitation.

3. If the two friends left the world suddenly,
They took from its goodness their share.

4. What they entrusted as their fate enriched them
And what they entrusted as their passion made them precious.

5. They attained from honor in their funeral
Its extent as they attained it in their heyday.

6. I have tears that I seek to heal their pain with
When those who carry me to them are late.

7. I wish my death had preceded
So I would not witness the death of the two friends.

8. I fulfilled the pact of the living and the dead, and worries
Of the two sides became equal before me.
