"Eastern poem on the death of Pushkin" is a Persian qasida (elegy) by the Azerbaijani author Mirza Fatali Akhundov, composed in 1837. This poem was his first published work.[1] In 1837, Akhundov prepared a Russian prose translation of his poem, and his friend Alexander Bestuzhev a versified one. It was published for the first time, in Akhundov's translation, in the journal Moskovsky Telegraf.[2] The poem was also published in the journal Moskovsky Nablyudatel, with an editorial note welcoming the poem as a tribute not merely to Pushkin but to Russian culture as a whole.[1] Bestuzhev's translation was published in 1874 in the journal Russkaya Starina. The original version of the poem was found and published only in 1936 (translator Pavel Antokolsky).
