هَزَجٌ
1.
[
(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: plural أَهْزَاجٌ and plural plural أَهَازِيجُ: or perhaps this latter is a plural of which the singular is
أُهْزُوجَةٌ, like as أَرَاجِيزُ is plural 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,]
[Neither its owner nor the people imputed a fault to any of its properties, except its warning the (wild) asses of his presence by the twangings of its harsh singings, and its causing a groaning sound to follow the loud, or prolonged, wailing]. (S.)لَمْ يَعِبْ رَبُّهَا وَلَا النَّاسُ مِنْهَاغَيْرَ إِنْذَارِهَا عَلَيْهِ الحَمِيرَابِأَهَازِيجَ مِنْ أَغَانِيِّهَا الجُشِوَإِتْبَاعِهَا النَّحِيبَ الزَّفِيرَا

الهَزَجٌ
The name of a certain kind of metre of verse; (S, K;) consisting of four feet, each of the measure
مَفَاعِيلُنْ: originally of six feet, like the رَجَز and the رَمَل, in each of which, [as in the هَزَج,] each foot consists of one element of the kind termed وَتِدٌ مَجْمُوعٌ, and of two elements of the kind termed سَبَبٌ خَفِيفٌ: so called because of the mutual nearness of its component parts.
