अश्रुओं का मैं बहिष्कार कर दूँ, किंतु,दिल चलता नहीं दर्द की सौगात बिना।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning
I could banish all tears, but my heart cannot continue without the gift of pain.
Explanation
This couplet captures a profound paradox of the heart. Amrut Ghayal suggests that while he can control his outward display of grief—he can boycott tears—his emotional core cannot function without the experience of pain. Pain, in this context, is not just suffering; it is the 'gift' (saugaat) that proves the heart is still alive, still capable of deep feeling, even if it hurts.
