Niwa no hana moto no kozue ni fukikaese chirasu nomi ya wa kokoro narubeki - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

庭の花もとのこずゑに吹きかへせ
散らすのみやは心なるべき

Roma-ji: Niwa no hana moto no kozue ni fukikaese chirasu nomi ya wa kokoro narubeki
English Translation: Garden's fallen blooms,
to the treetops whence they came
blow them back again;
should scattering alone
be all that's in your heart
Meaning: Blow the fallen flowers in the garden back up to the branches they came from. Should scattering them be all there is to your heart?
Commentary: Book One Spring Poems 66

The poet calls on the wind to blow the petals strewn in the garden back onto the branches. Appealing to the wind's kindness, as if scattering could not be its true heart, the idea is a fanciful one.
The author, Ikuhōmon'in no Aki, was a lady-in-waiting who served Princess Teishi, known as Ikuhōmon'in, a daughter of Emperor Shirakawa.

First line, 'niwa no hana', are the flowers strewn on the garden, linking with 'the garden ground where the flowers are at their peak' in poem 58.
Second line, 'moto no kozue ni', are the branch tips where the flowers once bloomed.
Third line, 'fukikaese', commands the wind to blow them back, and the poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, 'chirasu nomi ya wa', uses the rhetorical ya wa: should it be only scattering? Surely not.
Final line, 'kokoro narubeki', means should it be your heart, questioning the wind's intent.
