いりひさす山とぞ見ゆるもみぢばのあきのことごとてらすなりけり

irihi sasu yama to zo miyuru momijiba no aki no kotogoto terasu narikeri

The setting sun shines On the mountains, and it seems The scarlet leaves All of autumn Do illuminate.

ひさかたのつきのかつらもあきはなほもみぢすればやてりまさるらん[1]

hisakata no tsuki no katsura mo aki  wa nao momiji sureba ya terimasaruran

On the eternal Moon the silver trees too In Autumn Change their hues; Is that why you shine so bright?
