dikhaaiyo

Detailed Meaning
An archaic or classical precative imperative of the verb 'dikhana' (to show), carrying a tone of pleading or humble request. In the couplet, modified by the negative particle 'mat', it functions as a fervent prayer begging God never to let the speaker witness the distressing illusion of the world.
Etymology
Derived from Sanskrit 'darśayati' (causative of 'dṛś') via Prakrit 'dikkha-', with the classical Braj/Old Urdu imperative suffix '-iyo'.
Usage
Widely employed in classical Rekhta poetry, the archaic suffix '-iyo' forms an earnest precative imperative well-suited to prayers or tender supplications to the beloved.
Examples
Do not show such grief even to an enemy.
Show your face just once from behind the veil.
