Ai Vali Ghairat Suun Suraj Kyuun Jale Na.iin Rat-din — Wali Dakhani
Meaning
O Wali, why wouldn't the sun burn with envy day and night, when in this world that moon-faced beloved has become the envy of even the Moon of Canaan (Prophet Joseph)?
Explanation
In this delightful couplet, Wali pays the ultimate compliment to his beloved by weaving cosmic drama with classical romance. He suggests that the beloved has outshone even the legendary beauty of Prophet Yusuf—often celebrated as the 'Moon of Canaan.' With a touch of poetic wit, Wali explains that the sun burns so fiercely day and night simply out of sheer, jealous agony over being outdone by such radiant grace.
