Nageke tote tsuki ya wa mono o omowasuru kakochigao naru waga namida kana

嘆けとて月やは物を思はする
かこち顔なるわが涙かな

Roma-ji: Nageke tote tsuki ya wa mono o omowasuru kakochigao naru waga namida kana
English Translation: 'Grieve,' does the moon say,
and is it the moon that makes
me brood on my love?
yet with a look of reproach
how my tears go flowing down!
Meaning: Is it the moon that tells me to grieve and makes me brood? No, and yet my tears flow as though they would lay the blame on it.
Commentary: Love Poems 628

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "The moon"
The moon does not tell him to grieve and make him brood. These are really tears of love's pain, yet they flow as though blaming the moon. The impulse to pin love's tears on the moon is vividly caught in kakochigao, the face of complaint given to the tears.
It was included in the fifth book of love poems of the Senzaishū and later chosen for the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, and it is widely known as one of Saigyō's representative love poems.

First line, “nageke tote”: telling me to grieve.
Second line, “tsuki ya wa mono o”: ya wa is a rhetorical binding particle answered by the attributive suru in the third line; this answers the topic.
Third line, “omowasuru”: suru is the attributive of the causative su: does it make me brood? No. The poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, “kakochigao naru”: kakochigao is a face that lays blame on another, personifying the tears.
Fifth line, “waga namida kana”: kana is exclamatory, lamenting the tears that flow as if blaming the moon.
