Yo no naka o aki hatenu to ya saoshika no ima wa arashi no yama ni nakuramu - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

世の中をあき果てぬとやさを鹿の
今はあらしの山に鳴くらむ

Roma-ji: Yo no naka o aki hatenu to ya saoshika no ima wa arashi no yama ni nakuramu
English Translation: Thinking that the world
has wearied him, and autumn
now is at its end,
does the stag now cry out
on the mountain of the storm
Meaning: Thinking himself weary of the world, as autumn too draws to its end, does the stag now cry out on the storm-swept mountain where he can no longer stay?
Commentary: Book Three Autumn Poems 226

Thinking he has grown weary of the world, as autumn too draws to a close, the stag must now be crying out on the storm-swept mountain. Overlaying aki, autumn, with aku, to weary, and arashi, storm, with araji, cannot remain, the poem lends the stag's cry the feeling of one who has turned away from the world.
With this poem the deer sequence ends, closing it by joining the deepening of autumn to world-weariness.
From poem 222 through poem 226 in this book come poems on the deer, in which the stag's cry for its mate draws out many feelings, such as the loneliness of travel and of sleeping alone.
The author, Akinaka (Fujiwara), is Fujiwara no Akinaka. A son of Fujiwara no Sukenaka, he was an active poet in the circle of Emperor Horikawa.

First line, 'yo no naka o', means the world, perhaps also implying the bond between lovers.
Second line, 'aki hatenu to ya', is a pivot word in which aki means both autumn and aku, to grow utterly weary; the particle ya binds with ramu in the final line.
Third line, 'saoshika no', means the stag.
Fourth line, 'ima wa arashi no', is a pivot word in which arashi means both a storm and araji, 'I will not remain'.
Final line, 'yama ni nakuramu', means does it cry on the mountain, ramu being the auxiliary of present conjecture.
