लौटियो

Meaning

Do return, or flutter and roll (archaic polite future imperative).

Detailed Meaning

An archaic future or precative imperative form signifying a poignant instruction to return or flutter about. In this couplet, the poet bids the spirit of flight to visit and roll or revel in the garden's courtyard after his demise. The historical '-iyo' suffix marks a tender, testamentary plea rather than a stern command.

Etymology

From Sanskrit लोटते (loṭate) via Prakrit लोट्टइ (loṭṭaï), suffixed with the classical Hindustani precative marker -iyo.

Usage

Widely favored in classical ghazal for expressing gentle, parting requests or nostalgic final wishes.
