Our kin have made us solitary and unique by dying, otherwise none of us here was ever truly peerless.

In this poignant couplet, the poet plays brilliantly with the dual meaning of 'yagana'—which signifies both 'close kin' and 'solitary or peerless.' As his dear ones passed away, their absence left him completely alone, ironically granting him a uniqueness born purely of deep grief and survival. It is a tender, melancholic reflection on how tragedy can isolate us, turning ordinary mortal loss into a heavy crown of solitude.
