बिकेंगे

Meaning

Will be sold; will be traded away or auctioned off.

Detailed Meaning

The third-person masculine plural future form of 'bikna' (to be sold). In this couplet, it vividly portrays the tragic marketplace of passion where lovers' lives and heads are offered up for sale, yet worthy appraisers remain exceedingly scarce. It underscores the themes of self-effacing sacrifice and the painful devaluation of devotion.

Etymology

Derived via Prakrit from Sanskrit 'विक्रीयते' (vikrīyate, 'is sold'), formed from prefix 'वि-' (vi-) and root 'क्री' (krī, 'to buy').

Usage

Commonly invoked in classical poetry to contrast the vulgar transactions of the world with the unvalued, supreme sacrifice of the lover.
