Fuku kaze ni tsuyu mo tamaranu kuzu no ha no urakaere to wa kimi koso omoe

吹く風に露もたまらぬ葛の葉の
うらかへれとは君こそ思へ

Roma-ji: Fuku kaze ni tsuyu mo tamaranu kuzu no ha no urakaere to wa kimi koso omoe
English Translation: Like kudzu leaves that
in the blowing wind can keep
not a drop of dew,
'turn and show your grudging side'—
it's you who must think it so.
Meaning: Like kudzu leaves that cannot hold a drop of dew in the blowing wind, "turn over to resentment"—it must be you who wish it so.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 1335

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "One hundred and ten love poems"
As kudzu leaves turn over in the wind, holding not a drop of dew, it must be you who wish my heart to turn to resentment, the poet says.
Kudzu leaves show their white undersides in the wind, so in waka they are associated with ura-mi, "seeing the underside," and urami, "resentment." The beloved's coldness can only mean she wants him to resent her.

First line, “fuku kaze ni”: in the blowing wind.
Second line, “tsuyu mo tamaranu”: holding not a drop of dew, also "not in the least."
Third line, “kuzu no ha no”: like kudzu leaves, leading to "turning over."
Fourth line, “urakaere to wa”: ura pivots on the "underside" of leaves and urami, "resentment."
Fifth line, “kimi koso omoe”: koso is emphatic, answered by the realis omoe.
