मैं भी 'घायल' उँगलियों में ऐसा जादू रखता हूँ,बेमेल तारों को भी छेड़ूँ तो एकराग करूँ!
— Amrut Ghayal
Meaning

I, 'Ghayal', possess such magic in my fingers that even when I pluck discordant strings, I make them sing in unison.

Explanation

This couplet is a beautiful metaphor for the poet's unique power. 'Ghayal' fingers represent the poet's touch—a touch that is both wounded and magical. The mismatched strings (discord) symbolize life's chaos or conflicting emotions. Amrut Ghayal claims that even when faced with such discord, his artistry can pluck them and force them into a single, perfect melody, or 'ek raag.' It is a declaration of artistic mastery!
