SZS XIV: 843

Sent as a reply to someone who said he would visit, after failing to come for a long time.

おもひいでてたれをか人のたづねましうきにたへたるいのちならずは

omoFi’idete
tare wo ka Fito no
tadunemasi
uki ni taFetaru
inoti narazu Fa
Thinking back,
Who is this man
Seeking to come a’visiting?
Ever enduring cruelty is
Not how I spend my life…
