二親ながらなき身とを知れ

Roma-ji: Tamakushige kakego ni chiri mo suezarishi futaoya nagara naki mi to o shire
English Translation: Into the inner tray
of the jeweled comb box not
a speck of dust allowed,
both my parents, know that now
I am one who has lost them
Meaning: Know that I have lost both of the parents who raised me with such care that not a speck of dust was allowed to settle in the tray of the jeweled comb box.
Commentary: Book Ten Miscellaneous Poems II 610

Know, the poet says, that the parents who cherished her so that not a speck of dust was allowed to settle on the inner tray of a fine comb box are now both gone. One who was raised as carefully as treasures stored in a box now has no parents to rely on, and the poem voices that plight.
The next poem, 611, is written from the side of a parent thinking of an infant, so the lament of a child who has lost her parents stands beside it, and the two poems show the bond of parent and child from either side.

First line, 'tamakushige', means a fine box for combs, associated with kakego in the second line.
Second line, 'kakego ni chiri mo', means not even dust in the inner tray, saying that she was raised like an object carefully stored in the small tray of a box.
Third line, 'suezarishi', means who would not let it settle, the negative zu with the attributive shi of the past ki modifying futaoya in the fourth line.
Fourth line, 'futaoya nagara', means both my parents, the suffix nagara meaning both together.
Final line, 'naki mi to o shire', means know that I have lost them, closing with the imperative shire.
