Hitaburu ni shinaba nani ka wa sa mo araba are ikite kainaki mono omou mi wa - Shui Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

ひたぶるに死なば何かはさもあらばあれ
生きてかひなき物思ふ身は

Roma-ji: Hitaburu ni shinaba nani ka wa sa mo araba are ikite kainaki mono omou mi wa
English Translation: If I simply die,
what of that? Let come what may,
so be it, then;
living brings no purpose to
this self that broods in love.
Meaning: If I were simply to die, what would it matter? Let it be as it will. For this self brooding in love, there is no point in living on.
Commentary: Book Fifteen Love Poems V 934

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Topic unknown"
The poem says: if I simply die, what does it matter, let it be as it will, for this self that broods in love has no reason to live. A reckless heart that has lost the meaning of living in love's suffering and does not shrink from death is sung in a fierce rhythm with an extra syllable.
It closes the series, running from the preceding poems, that looks upon life and death.

First line, "hitaburu ni," means "wholly, all at once."
Second line, "shinaba nani ka wa," means "if I die, what of it," with "ka wa" rhetorical. It shares the thought of death with "sutehatemu inochi" in 927 and "iki shinan" in 928 of this book.
Third line, "sa mo araba are," means "let it be as it may," an irregular line of eight syllables. The poem breaks here.
Fourth line, "ikite kainaki," means "with no purpose in living," pairing with "shinaba," if I die, in the second line.
Final line, "mono omou mi wa," means "this self that broods in love," placing at the end, in inversion, what stands as the subject of the upper verse.
