Kimi ga yo mo waga yo mo tsukiji Ishikawa ya Semi no ogawa no taeji to omoeba

君が代もわが世も尽きじ石川や
瀬見の小川の絶えじと思へば

Roma-ji: Kimi ga yo mo waga yo mo tsukiji Ishikawa ya Semi no ogawa no taeji to omoeba
English Translation: My lord's reign and mine
shall neither come to an end,
for at Ishikawa
the little stream of Semi
will never cease to flow.
Meaning: Neither my lord's reign nor my own life shall end, for I think the little stream of Semi at Ishikawa will never cease to flow.
Commentary: Miscellaneous Poems 672

Headnote continued from the preceding poem: "A poem of felicitation"
As the little stream of Semi by the Kamo shrine flows on unceasing, so neither the lord's reign nor the poet's own life will end. Adding "my lord's reign" to "my age" in the preceding poem, it blesses both together.
It was included in the imperial anthology Shokukokin Wakashū. It uses the opening words of Kamo no Chōmei's Shinkokinshū poem on the stream of Semi at Ishikawa.

Line 1 means "my lord's reign too."
Line 2 means "nor my age shall end," with a break after the line, nearly the same as line 2 of the preceding poem.
Line 3 means "O Ishikawa," another name for the Kamo River, ya exclamatory.
Line 4 means "of the stream of Semi," by the Kamo shrine.
Line 5 means "for I think it will not cease," the inversion giving the reason last.
