To reach thee where thou art, that I once more
May hold thee in my arms, and die with thee.
Oh, hither come with shovels and with spades
To turn the earth and rocks, and bury here
Both Sia-Manto and his love with him!”
She shut her eyes, and casting herself down,
Fell on her lover, uttering but one word—
“My Sia-Manto!” and he echoed it—
“My Guje-Zare!” with his latest breath.
Then silence! In each other’s arms they died.
