To go; used as a passive auxiliary meaning 'are being (done)'.

Detailed Meaning

In this couplet, 'जाते' serves as an auxiliary verb following the participle 'पकड़े' to construct the passive voice ('are seized' or 'are captured'). The poet protests that humans are unjustly held accountable and captured purely on the testimony recorded by angels, with no human advocate present at the time of writing.

Etymology

Sanskrit 'याति' (yāti, goes) through Prakrit 'जाइ' (jāi) to Hindustani 'जाना' (jānā).

Usage

In classical ghazal, it commonly appears both as an independent verb signifying departure or loss and as an auxiliary creating passive and continuative verbal expressions.
