« Memoria
Gli uomini vanno e vengono per le strade della città.
Comprano cibi e giornali, muovono a imprese diverse.
Hanno roseo il viso, le labbra vivide e piene.
Ti chinasti a baciarlo con un gesto consueto.
Ma era l'ultima volta. Era il viso consueto.
Solo un poco più stanco. E il vestito era quello di sempre.
E le scarpe eran quelle di sempre. E le mani erano quelle
Che spezzavano il pane e versavano il vino.
Oggi ancora nel tempo che passa sollevi il lenzuolo
A guardare il suo viso per l'ultima volta.
Se cammini per strada nessuno ti è accanto.
Se hai paura nessuno ti prende le mano.
E non è tua la strada, non è tua la città.
Non è tua la città illuminata. La città illuminata è degli altri.
Degli uomini che vanno e vengono, comprando cibi e giornali.
Puoi affacciarti un poco alla quieta finestra
E guardare in silenzio il giardino nel buio.
Allora quando piangevi, c'era la sua voce serena.
Allora quando ridevi c'era il suo riso sommesso.
Ma il cancello che a sera s'apriva resterà chiuso per sempre;
E deserta è la tua giovinezza, spento il fuoco, vuota la casa. »

In July 1980 he escaped an assassination attempt in his home in the Parisian suburb, Suresnes, which killed a policeman and a neighbor. But on August 7, 1991, Bakhtiar was murdered along with his secretary, Soroush Katibeh, by three assassins in his home. The inquest found that he was stabbed by a knife matching a nearby blood stained bread knife. Bakhtiar's dead body was not found until at least 36 hours after his death, despite the fact that he had heavy police protection and that his killers had left ID (presumably faked) with a guard at his house. Two of the assassins escaped to Iran, but the third, Ali Vakili Rad, was apprehended in Switzerland, as well as an alleged accomplice, Zeyal Sarhadi, a great-nephew of the president of Iran, and both were extradited to France for trial. Vakili Rad was sentenced to life in prison in December 1994, although Sarhadi was acquitted.
