Ghair Ke Hote Bhala Ai Sham-e-vasl — Dagh Dehlvi
ग़ैर के होते भला ऐ शाम-ए-वस्ल
क्यूँ हमारे रू-ब-रू होने लगी
— Dagh Dehlvi
Meaning
O night of union, why are you appearing before me when the rival is already present?
Explanation
The poet addresses the long-awaited 'night of union' with a sigh of helpless irony. Having the beloved near should have brought pure bliss, but the presence of the rival spoils what was supposed to be an intimate, tender moment. It captures that aching disappointment when a dream finally comes true, yet arrives in circumstances that make it impossible to truly savor.
