هَيْدَبٌ (tropical:) Tears flowing in a continued succession. (K.) On the authority of Lth, who cites the following verse:

بِدَمْعٍ ذِى حَرَارَاتٍ

عَلَى الخَدَّيْنِ ذِى هَيْدَبْ

[With hot tears upon the cheeks, flowing in a continued succession]. But it is said in the L, I have not heard هيدب used as an epithet applied to rain falling continuously, aorist as an epithet applied to tears; and the verse which Lth adduces as an authority is forged. (TA.)
