Word Meaning
गुज़रा
guzrā
hiverb
Meaning
Passed by; desisted from, relinquished, or forsworn.
Detailed Meaning
While commonly meaning 'passed' in terms of time or space, in this couplet 'guzrā' operates idiomatically with the preposition 'se' to mean desisting, washing one's hands of, or resigning from something. The speaker conveys that they have endured enough and renounce that painful interaction altogether.
Etymology
Persian origin, derived from 'guzashtan' (گذشتن - to pass, cross, forgo).
Usage
In ghazal poetry, 'kisi cheez se guzarna' denotes absolute resignation or renunciation, such as giving up one's life or hopes.
Examples

A lifetime passed away in sheer anticipation.
