Awaresa wa kōya to kimi mo omoiyare aki kuregata no ōhara no sato

あはれさは高野と君も思ひやれ
秋暮れ方の大原の里

Roma-ji: Awaresa wa kōya to kimi mo omoiyare aki kuregata no ōhara no sato
English Translation: Think of it, you too,
that its sorrow is like Kōya's—
here as autumn fades,
in the dusk of evening's close,
in the village of Ōhara.
Meaning: Think of it, you too: its sorrow is the same as Kōya's, this village of Ōhara at the close of autumn's day.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1208

Headnote: "Reply"
This is the first of Jakunen's ten replies to Saigyō's ten poems. Think of it, he says: the sorrow is the same as Kōya's here in Ōhara at the close of an autumn day.
Jakunen's ten poems all end with "Ōhara no sato," answering Saigyō's ten that begin "Yama fukami." In this first one he replies to Saigyō's account of Kōya's sorrows that Ōhara's are no less, and goes on to take up the things of Ōhara one by one. The text's fourth line reads "軟くれかた," which does not match the reading line "akikuregata"; here the reading line is followed, taking 軟 as a miswriting of 秋, autumn.

First line, “awaresa wa”: the deep sorrow of it.
Second line, “kōya to kimi mo”: that it is like Kōya, you too, answering Saigyō's Kōya.
Third line, “omoiyare”: please imagine it, an imperative; the poem breaks here.
Fourth line, “aki kuregata no”: at the close of an autumn day.
Fifth line, “ōhara no sato”: ending on a noun, the last line shared by all ten.
