How am I to live under these conditions?
Explanation:
It is an exclamatory sentence meaning roughly, How am I to live under these conditions?.

It conveys a despairing state of mind, where one is almost throwing up his/her hands and quitting it all. That sort of a mental state.

Sajan means beloved.

If one were to live, how should one go about it?


Explanation:
Sajan means loved one, in this case a male. In the case of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is Juliet's sajan to Juliet and Juliet is his sajani.

In the case of a married couple, sajan is the husband and sajani is the wife.
