ه • ز • ج

, aor. هَزَجَ , (S, K,) inf. n. هَزَجٌ; (L;) He sang in a certain manner, with trilling, or quavering; as also ↓ تهزّج; (S, K;) and ↓ هزّج: (K:) or ↓ تهزّج signifies he reiterated, or made to reciprocate, the graceful modulations of his voice: or prolonged his voice, without elevating it: (Aboo-Is-hák, L:) or هَزَجٌ does not at all signify trilling, or quavering; and therefore IAar has applied هَزِجٌ as an epithet to a dog that barks much. (L.) He read, or recited, with a prolonging and trilling of the voice, making the sounds to follow closely, one upon another; as also ↓ تهزّج. (TA.)

, inf. n. تهْزِيجٌ, He (a singer [or a reader or reciter]), made the sounds of the voice to be closely consecutive, and uttered in a light and quick manner. (L.) هزّج صَوْتَهُ, and ↓ تهزّجهُ, [the latter app. a mistake for تهزّج فِيهِ,] He made the sounds of his voice to be closely consecutive, or near together. (TA.) See 1.

He (a poet) composed, or uttered, verses of the metre termed الهَزَج. (K.)

[ (tropical:) The twanging of a bow, on the archer's loosing the string after drawing it; and of a lutestring: in the TA, i. q. رَنّةٌ: pl. أَهْزَاجٌ and pl. pl. أَهَازِيجُ: or perhaps this latter is a pl. of which the sing. is ↓ أُهْزُوجَةٌ, like as أَرَاجِيزُ is pl. of أُرْجُوزَةٌ: and the twanging of a bow-string or lute-string may be likened to an ode or a song of the metre termed الهَزَج, which is perhaps, judging from analogy, the proper signification of اهزوجة.] لِلْعُودِ وَالقَوْسِ أَهَازِيجُ (tropical:) [To the lute and the bow there are twangings]. (A.) El-Kumeyt says, [speaking of a bow,]

لَمْ يَعِبْ رَبُّهَا وَلَا النَّاسُ مِنْهَا

غَيْرَ إِنْذَارِهَا عَلَيْهِ الحَمِيرَا

بِأَهَازِيجَ مِنْ أَغَانِيِّهَا الجُشِ

وَإِتْبَاعِهَا النَّحِيبَ الزَّفِيرَا
