'घायल', दिवस, अपनी मलीन ओढ़नी ओढ़कर, सी रहा है श्वेत कफ़न! रात तो देखो!
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

'Ghayal' observes the day, which has donned its faded veil, is stitching a white shroud. Just look at the night!

Explanation

This powerful couplet speaks of a profound sense of foreboding and preparation. The poet, Amrut Ghayal, paints a vivid picture: during the day, he is merely wearing his soiled shawl, but he is actively sewing a white shroud. This symbolizes that the speaker is not just living life, but is already preparing for his own end or the end of a relationship. The final line, 'But look at the night!', suggests that the true, irreversible tragedy only unfolds when the curtain falls, when the darkness reveals the truth.
