Hakim-e-vaqt Hai Tujh Ghar Men Raqib-e-bad-khu — Wali Dakhani
हाकिम-ए-वक़्त है तुझ घर में रक़ीब-ए-बद-ख़ू
देव मुख़्तार हुआ मुल्क-ए-सुलैमान में आ
— Wali Dakhani
Meaning
The ill-natured rival has become the ruler in your house; alas, it is as if a demon has taken over the kingdom of Solomon.
Explanation
The poet laments with bitter anguish that the ill-natured rival has now gained full control over the beloved's home. To illustrate this tragic inversion, he draws on the legendary tale of Prophet Solomon, whose sacred kingdom was once usurped by a wicked demon. It is a poignant cry against life's cruel ironies, where elegance and purity fall into the hands of the utterly undeserving.
