Hamza and Respectful Verbs (Ta'zeemi Af'aal):

ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ

"Aap khana kha lijiye" (Please have your food) — how politely and mannerly a simple statement has been expressed in this sentence. Such sentences reflect how cultured the speaker is. "Kha lijiye" (please eat), "kar dijiye" (please do), "sun lijiye" (please listen) — these are respectful forms of verbs. The important thing to remember is that such respectful verbs always end with two 'Yaas' (یی). For example, the infinitive is "Rakhna" (to keep), from which "Rakhiye" (ر ک ھ ی ے) will be formed. No Hamza (ء) will be used in such verbs. Writing it as "رکھئے" or "رکھئیے" would not be the correct spelling (Imla). As an example, some such verbs are written below:

Dekhiye (look), peejiye (drink), dijiye (give), lijiye (take), padhiye (read), likhiye (write), chaliye (walk/come along), uthiye (stand up/wake up), baithiye (sit), laiye (bring), khaiye (eat), jaiye (go), sunaiye (narrate/tell), uthaiye (pick up), udaiye (fly/spend), ubaliye (boil), utariye (take down/off), nikaliye (take out), phiriye (turn/roam), poojiye (worship), litiye (lie down), lautiye (return), soiye (sleep), dhoiye (wash), roiye (cry), kholiye (open), songhiye (smell), sochiye (think).

Verse: Din hans ke kaat dijiye, himmat na haariye (Spend the day smiling, do not lose heart)

Verse: Bigde hue ko aah kahan tak sanwaariye (Oh, to what extent can one fix someone who is ruined)

Verse: Darwaza khulne ka nahin, ghar ko sudhaariye (The door is not going to open, head back home)

Verse: Naatiqa sar ba gareebaan ke ise kya kahiye (The power of speech is perplexed as to what to call this)

Verse: Khaama angasht ba dandaan ke ise kya likhiye (The pen is biting its finger in wonder as to what to write)

Verse: Padhiye durood husn-e-sabeeh-o-maleeh dekh (Recite blessings upon seeing the radiant and elegant beauty)

Verse: Chaahiye achhon ko, jitna chaahiye (Good people should be loved as much as they deserve)

Verse: Rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho (Let us now go and live in a place where there is no one)

There is a proverb: Apni raan kholiye, aap laajon mariye (Expose your own flaw and die of your own shame).

Yes, one more thing should be kept in mind that respectful verbs like "Laiye", "Khaiye" or "Khoiye", "Soiye" also have two 'Yaas' at the end. The Hamza that appears in them comes before the first 'Yaa'. Look at it this way: in "Sochiye", the third letter is 'Chey' (چ) followed by two 'Yaas' (سو چ ی ے). Similarly, in "Soiye", there are two 'Yaas' at the end, and the third letter is Hamza (سُ و ءِ ی ے). Just as 'Chey' appears in "Sochiye", Hamza appears in "Soiye". Or just as 'Noon' (ن) appears in "Jaaniye" (جانِ ی ے), similarly, Hamza appears in "Laiye" (لا ءِ ی ے).

The essential point to remember is that respectful verbs always have two 'Yaas' (یی) at the end.
