Ayaniku ni kogaruru mune mo aru mono o ika ni kawakanu tamoto naruramu - Kinyo Wakashu(English Translation & Meaning)

あやにくに焦がるる胸もあるものを
いかにかわかぬ袂なるらむ

Roma-ji: Ayaniku ni kogaruru mune mo aru mono o ika ni kawakanu tamoto naruramu
English Translation: Perversely enough,
there is this breast of mine
burning so with love,
and yet why is it my sleeve
never dries at all
Meaning: Perversely, though there is this breast of mine burning with love, why is it that my sleeve never dries?
Commentary: Book Seven Love Poems I 413

With a breast burning like fire with love, the sleeve ought to dry in its heat, yet the poet wonders why the tear-soaked sleeve never dries. Through the contrast of fire and water, a burning breast and a wet sleeve, the poem wittily conveys the pain of love.
Poem 399 in this book also sings of burning love with 'koi ni kogaruru'.

First line, 'ayaniku ni', means perversely.
Second line, 'kogaruru mune mo', means a breast burning with longing. Like the second line 'koi ni kogaruru' of poem 399 in this book, it sings of burning love.
Third line, 'aru mono o', means though there is, using the concessive mono o.
Fourth line, 'ika ni kawakanu', means why does it not dry, the fire of kogaruru in the second line answering kawaku, to dry.
Final line, 'tamoto naruramu', means is it my sleeve, using the present conjecture ramu.
