“My friend, my younger brother

Who had endured dangers beside me,

Enkidu, my friend whom I loved,

the end of mortality has overtaken him.

Day and night I wept over him.

I would not let him be buried

To see if he would come to life again on hearing the sound of my sorrow.

I would not let him be buried

For seven days and seven nights,

till worms fastened on him.

With him dead, I could see life no more;

I walked here and there in the wilderness.

May I not see death which I cannot stop fearing.
