यूँ तो आँसू केवल बूँद है, किंतु यह तेज़ाब की बूँद है,छिड़क कर उँगली पर इसे, मैं पानी को भी आग कर दूँ!
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning
These tears are merely drops, yet they are drops of acid. If I sprinkle them on my finger, I can turn water into fire.
Explanation
This couplet is a powerful declaration of deep, corrosive pain. Amrut Ghayal tells us that while a tear may appear to be just a drop of water, its true nature is that of acid. It signifies that the sorrow felt is so intense, so burning, that it has the power to destroy even the gentlest things—the very essence of what you are. It’s a beautiful depiction of heartbreak's destructive might.
