خَازِنٌ خازن [One who reposits, stows, lays up, keeps, preserves, or guards, property, &c.; a treasurer]: (K, TA:) pl. خَازِنُونَ and خَزَنَةٌ. (TA.)

(tropical:) [When] thy tongue [is such as keeps the secret confided to thee], and thy heart [is trustworthy, thou wilt follow the right way in respect of thy two states, thy state in the present world and thy state in the world to come].
