Uramite mo nakite mo iwamu kata zo naki kagami ni miyuru kage narazu shite - Kokin Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

恨みても泣きても言はむ方ぞなき
鏡に見ゆる影ならずして

Roma-ji: Uramite mo nakite mo iwamu kata zo naki kagami ni miyuru kage narazu shite
English Translation: Though I should resent,
though I weep, there is no one
to whom I could speak,
none but the reflection
that appears within my mirror
Meaning: Whether I resent or weep, there is no one I can tell it to, except the reflection of myself that I see in the mirror.
Commentary: Book Fifteen Love Poems V 814

Headnote: "Topic unknown."
Whether he resents or weeps, there is no one to hear him, except his own reflection in the mirror. With no way to appeal to the departed lover, the poem depicts the loneliness of facing only oneself in the glass.
The author, "Fujiwara no Okikaze," is Fujiwara no Okikaze, son of Fujiwara no Michinari, Clerk of Sagami. Following his father as Clerk of Sagami, he served as Junior Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Provisional Senior Clerk of Kōzuke and of Kazusa, reaching the senior sixth rank, upper grade. Said to have excelled at music as well, he is one of the Thirty-Six Poetic Immortals.

The first line, "even if I resent," uses te mo as a concessive hypothetical.
The second line, "even if I weep," pairs with the first as two ways of expressing feeling; iwamu means "to tell."
In the third line kata means a person or means, and zo is resolved by the attributive of nashi. The poem breaks here.
The fourth line, "seen in the mirror," sets the mirror as what shows one's own form.
In the last line narazu shite means "other than," giving by inversion the single exception: the reflection in the mirror.
