Word Meaning
करीएगा
kariyega
Meaning
Will do or please do; an archaic polite future form of doing.
Detailed Meaning
In classical Rekhta and older Hindustani, 'kariyega' functions as a polite or future form of the verb 'karna' (to do). In this couplet, it carries a sense of rhetorical caution, questioning what the addressee will possibly do once physical strength fades. The older construction attaches the future marker '-ga' to the precative stem 'kariye'.
Etymology
From Hindustani 'karna', tracing back to Prakrit 'karei' and Sanskrit root 'kṛ' (to do), suffixed with the polite-future marker.
Usage
Frequently found in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century ghazals as an honorific or prospective verbal ending fitting classical meters.
