आँख में आँज स्नेह का सुरमा, रातभर सोँगठी खेली वह ग़ज़ल।
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

That ghazal, having applied the kohl of love in its eyes, played a game of dice throughout the entire night.

Explanation

This beautiful couplet paints a picture that is both visual and auditory. The poet speaks of the 'kajal' (dark kohl) of affection adorning the eyes, suggesting that the eyes themselves are steeped in deep emotion. This emotional depth is then linked to a ghazal—a melody that seems to play all night long. It suggests that the love felt is not fleeting; it is a continuous, mesmerizing performance, a beautiful echo that never fades.
