Tsuraki o mo omoishiru ya wa waga tame ni tsuraki hito shimo ware o uramuru - Shui Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

つらきをも思ひ知るやは我がために
つらき人しも我を恨むる

Roma-ji: Tsuraki o mo omoishiru ya wa waga tame ni tsuraki hito shimo ware o uramuru
English Translation: Do they know at all
how cold they are? Not a whit:
it is the one who
has been cruel and cold to me
who turns and holds a grudge.
Meaning: Do they know their own coldness? Not at all. It is the very one who has been cold to me who turns around and resents me.
Commentary: Book Fifteen Love Poems V 947

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "Topic unknown"
The poem says: do they know their own coldness? No, for it is precisely the one who is cold to me who resents me. It sings with irony of the unfairness of being reproached by the very person who has been cold.

First line, "tsuraki o mo," means "even their own coldness."
Second line, "omoishiru ya wa," means "do they realize it? surely not," with "ya wa" rhetorical. The poem breaks here.
Third line, "waga tame ni," means "toward me."
Fourth line, "tsuraki hito shimo," means "precisely the one who is cold," with "shimo" emphatic. It repeats "tsuraki" from the first line.
Final line, "ware o uramuru," means "resents me," ending on "uramuru," the attributive of the verb "uramu," with lingering feeling. The word "uramu" appears here ahead of the series of poems of resentment that begins at 973 in this book.
