逢ひ見てもありにしものをいつの間に
ならひて人の恋しかるらん

Roma-ji: Aimite mo arinishi mono o itsu no ma ni naraite hito no koishikaruran
English Translation: Even having met,
I got on well enough, but
when was it, I wonder,
that I grew used to her so
that now I long for her like this?
Meaning: Even after we met I got along well enough; when, I wonder, did I grow so used to her that now I long for her this way?
Commentary: Book Twelve Love Poems II 712

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Topic unknown"
The poem says that the poet got along well enough even after meeting, and wonders when he grew so accustomed to the beloved that he now longs for her. It expresses, as if in puzzlement at oneself, a heart that has come, unawares, to be unable to do without the beloved as the meetings went on. It belongs to the sequence on longing after a meeting.

First line, "aimite mo," means "even after we met," sharing the same words with the second line of the next poem, 713, "nao aimite mo."
Second line, "arinishi mono o," means "I got on well enough, yet," with "ni" perfective, "shi" past, and "mono o" concessive. The second lines of 728 and 732 in this book are also "arinishi mono o."
Third line, "itsu no ma ni," means "when, I wonder."
Fourth line, "naraite hito no," means "growing used to her," with "narau" meaning to become accustomed.
Final line, "koishikaruran," means "do I long for her," with "ran" an auxiliary conjecturing a cause.
