Omou koto mi ni amaru made naru taki no shibashi yodomu o nani uramuran - Shin Kokin Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

思ふこと身にあまるまでなる滝の
しばしよどむを何恨むらん

Roma-ji: Omou koto mi ni amaru made naru taki no shibashi yodomu o nani uramuran
English Translation: What you long for
will come true beyond your due;
the roaring falls,
for a moment stilled in pools—
why should you resent it so?
Meaning: What you wish for will be granted beyond your deserving. Why resent it if, like a roaring waterfall pausing in a pool, your fortune lingers for a while?
Commentary: Book Nineteen Poems on the Gods 1860

Headnote: "It is said this poem appeared in the dream of a man who, lamenting his low fortunes, had resolved to go down to the eastern provinces, as he kept an all-night vigil before the god of Kumano."
This is the ninth poem in the sequence of poems composed by the gods. Your wishes will be granted beyond your due, the god admonishes, so do not resent it if your fortune pauses for a while, as a roaring waterfall lingers in a pool. According to the left note, a man lamenting his low fortunes resolved to go down to the eastern provinces, and as he kept an all-night vigil before the god of Kumano, the poem appeared in his dream. The god encourages the disheartened man, promising that if he bears a brief stagnation, his wish will surely come true.
The poem has no headnote; a left note follows it instead. In this text the left note is placed under the number of the next poem, but its content shows that it belongs to this poem, so it is cited here as the headnote.
No author is named in the original; the left note shows it to be, like the preceding poem, the utterance of the Kumano Deity.

The first line, "omou koto," means "what you wish in your heart." Following the preceding poem, this is again a poem of the Kumano Deity, and poems consoling and encouraging pilgrims stand together.
The second line, "mi ni amaru made," means "beyond what your station deserves," wishes granted more than fully.
In the third line, "naru taki no," "naru" is a pivot word joining "naru," a wish "coming true," and "naru," a waterfall "roaring." The poem turns from the granting of wishes to the scene of a waterfall thundering down.
The fourth line, "shibashi yodomu o," means "that it pools for a while." Even a falling torrent lingers at times in a pool, and on this is laid the brief stalling of one's fortunes.
The last line, "nani uramuran," means "why should you resent it?" With the conjectural "ran," the god guesses at the grieving man's heart and asks, gently admonishing that there is no cause for resentment. It shares the questioning form "nani ... ran" with "nani sugusuran," the fourth line of poem 1864 of this book.
