या वो थे ख़फ़ा हम से या हम हैं ख़फ़ा उन से
कल उन का ज़माना था आज अपना ज़माना है
— Jigar Moradabadi
Meaning
Either they were once angry with us, or now we are angry with them; yesterday belonged to them, but today is our time.
Explanation
This couplet beautifully captures how time turns the tables in love and life. Yesterday, the beloved held all the power, ruling the lover's heart with moods and indifference. But now, the lover has reclaimed their self-respect and pride, gently reminding us that no sway or season lasts forever.
