Meaning

Will live; will remain alive.

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.

Examples

How long will one live bearing such torment of the heart?

He will live on, mourning the memories of his departed beloved.
