दिखावेगी
dikhaavegi
Meaning
Will show or cause to see (archaic feminine singular future).
Detailed Meaning
This is an archaic or classical future feminine form of the verb 'dikhānā' (to show). In the couplet, it is grammatically matched with 'asīrī' (captivity, a feminine noun), representing imprisonment personified as revealing relentless wounds and grief to the poet. It captures both literal showing and the forced witnessing of painful trauma.
Etymology
Sanskrit root 'dṛś' (to see) evolved through Prakrit into Hindustani 'dikhānā', with the classical/Braj-influenced future suffix '-vegī'.
Usage
The verbal ending '-वेगी' is an older morphological form preserved in classical rekhta for metrical convenience and traditional cadence.
