Please help me translate!

I'm trying to translate this song. One line goes:

Majboor kya kije

I know that "kya" means "what," and I think "Majboor" means "compelled," but what is "kije"??
I tried to look it up in dictionaries, and I couldn't find anything for "kije" or "ki je". Can someone please help me out?

    " कीजे/kije " was often used in old hindi and Urdu poems . It has now been replaced by " कीजिये/kijiye " in the modern Hindi. Its meaning and use is similar to " karen/करें " and it means " to do " , the only difference is that " karen/करें " is used in informal situations while " कीजिये/kijiye " is used in formal situations.

    " kya kijiye " ( kya kije ) :- what to do?

    mujhe " maaf kijiye/ माफ़ कीजिये ":- " forgive/pardon " me .
    कुछ कीजिये( kuch kijiye ) :- Do something.
    " अफ़सोस मत कीजिये /afsos mat kijiye " - " don't regret/feel sorry " ( here, afsos means to regret )
    its kya kijiye(कीजिये) it mens do/doing something.
    i dont know which song your are taking about here
    lets take this one(famous hindi song)
    dil to hai dil dil ka aitbaar kya kijiye दिल तो है दिल ,दिल का ऐतबार क्या कीजिये:
    it means heart is herat after all ,how to trust it(how one can do trust on it)
    dil= heart
    to=so/and (here the meaning is after all )
    hai=is
    aitbaar=trust
    kya=what/here the meaning is how
    kijiye= do
    another example is -
    solve this math question/iss ganit prashan ko hal kijiye(इस गणित प्रशन को हल कीजिये)
    iss=this
    ganit=math
    prashan= question
    hal= solve
    kijiye= do (do solve this)
