hipronoun
Meaning
Only you; to you alone; you yourself (emphatic pronoun).
Detailed Meaning
This is the emphatic contraction of the oblique second-person singular pronoun 'tujh' with the emphatic particle 'hī' (tujh + hī). In this verse, the speaker addresses his own heart ('dilā'), marveling that it alone would dare venture into the dangerous, snake-like curls of the beloved's hair. It underscores the reckless uniqueness of the heart's audacity.
Etymology
From Prakrit 'tujjha' (descended from Sanskrit 'tvayi' / 'tva-') fused with the Hindustani emphatic particle 'hī'.
Usage
In classical Urdu poetry, 'tujhī' is commonly used to intensely focus attention on either the beloved or the poet's own sorrowful heart.
