Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon, ط

---

طَرَبٌ ذ Emotion, or a lively emotion, or excitement, agitation, or unsteadiness, (خِفَّةٌ, S, A, Msb, K,) [of the heart or mind,] by reason of joy or grief, (A, K,) or of intense grief or joy, (S,) or of intense fear or joy: (Msb:) or joy, mirth, or gladness: and the contr., i. e. grief, sadness, or sorrow: (Th, K:) or, as some say, the lodgement of joy, mirth, or gladness, and departure of grief, sadness, or sorrow: so in the M: (TA:) the vulgar apply it peculiarly to joy; (Msb;) [but] the application of it peculiarly to joy is a mistake: (K:) it signifies also motion; syn. حَرَكَةٌ: (K:) it is said in the M, Th says that الطَّرَبُ is derived from الحَرَكَةُ; whence it seems that الطَّرَبُ is, in his opinion, syn. with الحَرَكَةُ; but [ISd adds] I know not this: (TA:) [it does, however, obviously imply the signification of motion, either ideal or actual:] also desire, or yearning or longing of the soul: (K:) the pl. is أَطْرَابٌ. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely, En-Nábighah El-Jaadee, using it in relation to anxiety, (TA,) “ فِى إِِثْرِهِمْ ↓ وَأَرَانِى طَرِبًا
طَرَبَ الوَالِهِ أَوْ كَا@لْمُخْتَبَلْ
” [And I perceive myself to be affected with emotion, or a lively emotion, after them, (i. e. after the loss of them,) with the emotion of him who is bereft of offspring or friends, or like him who is insane in mind]: (S, TA:) الوَالِه here signifies الثَّاكِل; and المُخْتَبَل means مَنْ جُنَّ فِى عَقْلِهِ. (TA.) -A2- And [the pl.] أَطْرَابٌ signifies Choice sweet-smelling plants: (K:) or [simply] sweet-smelling plants: (TA:) and the more fragrant of such plants. (O, TA.)
