लेवेंगे

Meaning

Will take or do; archaic classical form of 'lenge'.

Detailed Meaning

An archaic future tense plural form of the verb 'lenā' (to take), equivalent to modern 'lenge'. In classical Urdu poetry, it frequently functions as an auxiliary verb, as in 'dekh lewenge' (we shall see/observe). In this couplet, it conveys a tone of anticipated observation of the rival in the beloved's company.

Etymology

Sanskrit 'लभते' (labhate) evolved through Prakrit into Old Hindustani/Braj verbal conjugations.

Usage

A characteristic verbal inflection of early Rekhta and classical ghazal before the standardized modern conjugation 'lenge' became universal.
