Judging words requires knowing their context, and eternity (khulūd) is a relative matter; that is why it is permissible to use the names Khalid and Khulud. However, adding "alone" (waḥdaka) is a mistake. The second phrase expresses cursing time and attributing events to it, which is sufficient to render it impermissible. The third phrase is an eager anticipation for something one dreams of to occur; there is no harm in it as long as it is a wish for something permissible.
