English Translation: Today at last I've come
so far that even the hill rims
in the capital's direction
are lost from sight, as I set out
on the open sea off Naruo

Commentary: Book Sixteen Miscellaneous Poems I 1046

Headnote: "Composed on the theme "Viewing the sea" when people composed poems for the Hirota Shrine poetry contest"
This poem was composed on the theme "viewing the sea" when people composed poems for a poetry contest at the Hirota Shrine. Today at last I have come out to the offing of Naruo, where even the mountain rims toward the capital are lost from sight, he says. Rowing out to sea and looking back, he realizes that the mountains in the direction of the capital can no longer be seen, and sings of how far he is from the capital. "Miezu naru," become invisible, is joined with the place name Naruo.
The author, "Provisional Major Counselor Saneie," is Fujiwara no Saneie. A son of Minister of the Right Fujiwara no Kinyoshi, he rose to provisional major counselor. He was a younger brother of Fujiwara no Sanesada.
The three poems from this one through 1048 were composed on the theme "viewing the sea" at the same Hirota Shrine poetry contest, and the five poems through 1050 stand together as poems on views of the sea. The original headnote writes "viewing" with a mistaken character, but since it means the same as the other headnotes, it is corrected here.

First line, "kyō koso wa": "koso" is an emphatic binding particle closing with "nure" in the fifth line, "today at last."
Second line, "miyako no kata no": "in the direction of the capital."
Third line, "yama no ha mo": "even the mountain rims."
Fourth line, "miezu Naruo no": the "naru" of "miezu naru," become invisible, is joined with the place name Naruo in Settsu, "of Naruo, where even the mountains of the capital vanish."
Fifth line, "oki ni idenure": "nure" is the realis of the perfective "nu," closing the "koso" of the first line, "I have come out into the offing."
