つらしともおろかなるにぞ言はれける
いかに恨むと人に知らせむ

Roma-ji: Tsurashi tomo oroka naru ni zo iwarekeru ika ni uramu to hito ni shirasemu
English Translation: That it was cruel
I could say only because
my love was shallow;
how can I make her know now
how deeply I resent her
Meaning: I could call it cruel only while my love was still shallow; how now can I let her know how deeply I resent her?
Commentary: Book Seven Love Poems I 370

The poet could say 'it is cruel' only because his love was still shallow; now that it has deepened he cannot put it into words, and he laments how he might make the beloved know his resentment. By paradox the poem shows a resentment too deep for words.
Some manuscripts mark it 'topic unknown'.

First line, 'tsurashi tomo', means even that it is cruel.
Second line, 'oroka naru ni zo', means precisely because it was careless, that is, because his love was shallow, the particle zo binding with the attributive keru in the third line.
Third line, 'iwarekeru', means I was able to say, the potential ru joined to the exclamatory keri. The poem breaks after the third line.
Fourth line, 'ika ni uramu to', means how much I resent. Poems 391, 392 and 395 in this book also sing of resentment.
Final line, 'hito ni shirasemu', means shall I let her know, taking up ika ni in the fourth line as the poet wonders how he might let her know.
