दावा-ए-तस्ख़ीर पर ये उस परी-वश ने कहा आप का दिल क्या हुआ मोहर-ए-सुलेमानी हुई
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning

When I claimed that I would subdue and win her over, that fairy-faced beloved quipped, asking whether my heart had become the Seal of Solomon that it could command anyone.

Explanation

This couplet captures a playful yet cutting exchange between the lover and his beloved. When the lover boasts of winning her over, the fairy-like beauty mocks his vanity by invoking the myth of the 'Seal of Solomon'—the magical ring used by King Solomon to tame spirits and jinns. She asks with sharp wit whether he truly believes his mere heart possesses such miraculous power to enslave someone as celestial and untamable as her.
