Chiritsumoru niwa o zo mimashi sakurabana kaze yori saki ni tazunezariseba - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

散りつもる庭をぞ見まし桜花
風より先に尋ねざりせば

Roma-ji: Chiritsumoru niwa o zo mimashi sakurabana kaze yori saki ni tazunezariseba
English Translation: Scattered petals heaped
on the garden I'd have seen,
cherry blossoms there,
had I not come seeking them
before the wind had found them
Meaning: Had I not come to seek the cherry blossoms before the wind did, I would have seen only a garden heaped with fallen petals.
Commentary: Book One Spring Poems 49

Because the poet arrived before the wind scattered the flowers, he could see them in full bloom; otherwise he would have found only a garden strewn with petals. As if racing the wind to the blossoms, he expresses his joy at being in time through a counterfactual.

First line, 'chiritsumoru', means scattered and piled up.
Second line, 'niwa o zo mimashi', means I would have seen a garden, zo closing on the attributive of mashi. The poem breaks after the second line.
Third line, 'sakurabana', names what scatters.
Fourth line, 'kaze yori saki ni', means before the wind scattered them, framing the visit as a race with the wind.
Final line, 'tazunezariseba', is counterfactual, had I not come, inverted with the upper half; its form matches 'if the cherries were' at the end of poem 48.
