Word Meaning
गुज़रतियाँ

Meaning
Are passing or being spent (feminine plural, archaic/poetic form).
Detailed Meaning
This is an archaic Dakkani or classical Rekhta feminine plural present participle of the verb 'guzarna' (to pass, elapse). In the couplet, it describes the elongated, agonizing passing of entire nights spent in tears. Modern standard Urdu or Hindi would render this form simply as 'guzarti' (गुज़रती हैं).
Etymology
Persian 'guzashtan' (to pass) assimilated into Hindustani with classical regional plural inflection '-iyāñ'.
Usage
A characteristic feature of early classical Urdu poetry (Rekhta) where feminine plural nouns triggered plural inflection on the participle itself.
Examples
Nights are spent in sorrow and tears.
Days pass by in waiting for the beloved.
