身一つにあらぬばかりをおしなべて
行きめぐりてもなどか見ざらん

Roma-ji: Mi hitotsu ni aranu bakari o oshinabete yukimegurite mo nado ka mizaran
English Translation: It is just that it
is no longer mine alone—
in the common way,
going round and coming back,
why should you not see it still
Meaning: It is only that the palace is no longer mine alone—why should you not come round again, as others do, and see it once more?
Commentary: Book Nineteen Parting Poems 1323

Headnote: "The emperor saw it and replied."
The emperor says it is merely that the palace is no longer his alone, and asks why she should not come round and see it. To Ise's lament in the preceding poem that she will see the palace no more, he comforts her that although after his abdication the palace is no longer his own, she can still visit and see it.
According to the headnote, the emperor saw the preceding poem written on the wall and composed this in reply.
The poet, "the Teiji Emperor," is Emperor Uda. A son of Emperor Kōkō, he abdicated in favor of Emperor Daigo and later took holy orders as Cloistered Emperor. Because he made the Teiji-in his residence, he was also called the Teiji-in Emperor.

The first line, "Mi hitotsu ni," means "mine alone."
The second line, "aranu bakari o," means "it is only that it is no longer."
The third line, "oshinabete," means "all alike, in the common way."
The fourth line, "yukimegurite mo," means "going round and coming back," that is, visiting the palace again.
The last line, "nado ka mizaran," means "why should you not see it," with the rhetorical binding particle "ka" closed by the attributive "zaran." It takes up "mizaramu" in the fourth line of the preceding poem.
