18.1.12

kíṃ bhrā́tāsad yád anātháṃ bhávāti kím u svásā yán nírr̥tir nigáchāt |
kā́mamūtā bahv ètád rapāmi tanvā̀ me tanvàṃ sáṃ pipr̥gdhi ||12||

What should brother be when there is no protector? or what sister, when destruction impends (ni-gam)? Impelled by desire, I prate thus much; mingle thou thy body with my body.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
