The lament for Urim (c.2.2.2) ·c.2.2.2 ·19

The king who measured up the hoe ( al ) and who passes ( zal ) his time in its tracks, the hero Ninurta , has introduced working with the hoe ( altar ) into the rebel ( bal ) lands. He subdues ( alĝaĝa ) any city that does not obey its lord. Towards heaven he roars ( algigi ) like a storm, earthwards he strikes ( alĝaĝa ) like a dragon ( ušumgal ). Šara {sat down on} {( 1 ms. has instead: ) got onto} Enlil's knees, and Enlil gave him what he had desired ( al-dug ): {he had mentioned the mace, the club, arrows and quiver, and the hoe ( al )} {( 3 mss. have instead: ) he desired ( al-dug ) the mace, the club, arrows and quiver}. Dumuzid is the one who makes the upper land fertile ( allumlum ). Gibil made his hoe ( al ) raise its head towards the heavens -- he caused the hoe ( al ), sacred indeed, to be refined with fire. The Anuna were rejoicing ( alḫulḫuledeš ).

Like a fish killed with the cleaver, may they be magic-cut! May you bundle them up like logs hewn with the axe!" -- Lugalbanda who loves the seed will not accept this.

A violent storm blew over Umma and the Šeg-kuršaga . Šara took an unfamiliar path away from the E-maḫ , his beloved dwelling. Ninmul cried bitter tears over her destroyed city. "Oh my city, whose charms can no longer satisfy me," she cried bitterly. Ĝirsu , the city of heroes, was afflicted with a lightning storm. Ninĝirsu took an unfamiliar path away from the E-ninnu . Mother Bau wept bitter tears in her E-Iri-kug . "Alas, the destroyed city, my destroyed house," she cried bitterly.

She who makes …… for the poor, whose game ( i.e. battle ) is sweet, the prostitute who goes out to the inn, who makes the bedchamber delightful, who is food to the poor man -- Inana ( i.e. the evening star ) , the daughter of Suen , arose before him like a bull in the Land. Her brilliance, like that of holy Šara , her stellar brightness illuminated for him the mountain cave. When he lifted his eyes upwards to Inana , he wept as if before his own father. In the mountain cave he raised to her his fair hands:
