झूठी तो झूठी दिलासा मुझे पसंद है,रेगिस्तान हो मृगतृष्णा का, तो भी मुझे पसंद है।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning
I like reassurance, even if it is false. I also like a desert, even if it is full of mirages.
Explanation
This couplet speaks to the human tendency to prefer comforting illusions over harsh truths. Amrut Ghayal suggests that a beautiful lie, a comforting falsehood, is better than a brutal reality. The desert of mirages symbolizes a life full of false hopes, yet even that deceptive beauty is preferable to an unbearable truth. It's a poignant reflection on the solace we seek in beautiful deceptions.
