We are talking about executing a local exe with command line
parameters?

Then calling your app xfire.exe and calling the original client
from that should be the easiest option.

In your Delphi app, use Paramcount and Paramstr to get the
parameters passed to your app, and use ShellExecute or
CreateProcess to call the original client.
