Detailed Meaning
In classical verse, this is the future indicative form of the verb 'jeena' (to live), signifying ongoing existence over time. In Mir's couplet, it conveys the idea of a painful lifespan, asserting that as long as the poet endures and draws breath, he will suffer regret over offering his heart. Thus, survival itself becomes a prolonged sentence of remorse.
Etymology
From Sanskrit 'jīvati' (lives) through Prakrit 'jīvaï', evolving into Hindustani 'jīnā'.
Usage
Frequently used in classical ghazals to frame life not as a blessing, but as an enduring trial of sorrow and longing.

How long will one live bearing such torment of the heart?
He will live on, mourning the memories of his departed beloved.
