Meaning

I shall remain, stay, or continue to be (first person future).

Detailed Meaning

This is the first-person singular masculine future tense of the verb 'rahna' (to stay or remain).

Usage

In classical Urdu poetry, auxiliary combinations like 'baith rahunga' convey resolute resignation, permanence, or quiet endurance in love and exile.
