इस तेरी गली से उठ जाना सच में नहीं मुश्किल किंतु, तू सुनेगी तो क्या कहेगी! बस उसी विचार में खड़ा हूँ।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

For the poet, leaving the beloved's lane is not truly difficult, but the concern of what the beloved will say upon hearing this keeps the poet standing there. This thought alone prevents departure.

Explanation

This couplet captures the beautiful agony of hesitation. The poet, Amrut Ghayal, is physically ready to leave the beloved's path, suggesting the departure itself is simple. However, the true difficulty lies in the potential confrontation—what will she say? His entire being is suspended in the fear of her judgment. It’s not the journey that is hard, but the emotional reckoning that awaits him.
