खाइएगा

Meaning

Please eat, will partake, or will endure (used idiomatically).

Usage

Used in courteous address as a polite imperative or prospective action, frequently combined with abstract nouns in poetic idioms of suffering and delusion (e.g., ग़म खाना, फ़रेब खाना). In this couplet, it combines with बाव (wind/air) to form the idiom बाव खाना (to wander aimlessly, take the air, or suffer ruin). Naseem implies that even if one escapes dying in confinement, surviving will only result in aimless drifting or eventual ruin outside.
