I wanted to bathe, and the sky closed over with clouds,
I wanted to wash, but the clouds clung together,

So I endured the hardship with great effort.

I endured the cold while doing so; it was a day
I carried the cold water on a day
of bitter cold, as in the days of ‘Ad.
That was very cold in the days of Aad.

And I heated the rocks and spread my clothes
over embers and a little ash.
Over embers and some ashes.

Then, when I had washed and my garment had dried,
When I had washed and my clothes were dry,
the sky cleared—to my chagrin.
The sky cleared over my liver.
