Gilgameš, êš tadâl?
Gilgamesh, where are you wandering?
Balāṭam ša tasaḫḫuru lā tutta.
You cannot find the life you seek.

When the gods created humanity,
mūtam iškunū ana awīlūtim,
They assigned death to humanity,
balāṭam ina qātīšunu iṣṣabtū.
Kept life in their possession.
Atta, Gilgameš, lū mali karaška;
You, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full;
urrī u mūšī ḫitaddu atta;
Day and night be ever joyful;
ūmišam šukun ḫidûtam;
Every day arrange joy;
urrī u mūšī sūr u mēlil.
Day and night dance and play.

Let your clothes be cleaned,
qaqqadka lū mesi; mê lū ramkāta.
Your head washed; be bathed in water.

Gaze at the youngster who holds your hand;
marḫītum liḫtaddâm ina sūnīka.
Let your wife ever rejoice in your embrace.
