زهق

1 زَهَقَتْ نَفْسُهُ ذ , and زَهِقَتْ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) the latter preferred by IKoot and Hr, but the former by A'Obeyd, (TA,) aor. زَهَقَ , (S, Msb, K, *) inf. n. زُهُوقٌ, (S, Mgh,) which is of both verbs, (S,) or this is of the former verb, and the inf. n. of the latter is زَهَقٌ, (Msb,) [but in the K it seems to be indicated, by its being said of the latter verb that it is of the class of سَمِعَ, that the inf. n. of this verb is زَهْقٌ,] His soul went forth, passed forth, or departed: (S, Mgh, Msb, K, TA:) it perished: it died: (TA:) نَفْسُهُاِنْزَهَقَتْ and اِنْزِهَاقُ الرُّوحِ are not of the [classical] language of the Arabs. (Mgh.) It is said in the Kur [ix. 55 and 86] وَتَزْهَقَ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَهُمْ كَافِرُونَ [And that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers]. (S.) The primary meaning of زُهُوقٌ is The going forth, passing forth, or departing, with difficulty. (Bd in ix. 55.) ― -b2- [Hence,] زَهَقَ الشَّىْءُ (tropical:) The thing perished, passed away, or came to nought; (Msb, K, TA;) became null, void, or of no effect. (K, TA.) And زَهَقَ البَاطِلُ (tropical:) What was false, or vain, passed away, or came to nought, (S, Msb, K, TA,) being overcome by the truth, or reality, or fact: or, accord. to Katádeh, by الباطل is here meant the devil.

(JK.) ― -b4- And زَهَقَ الفَرَسُ, aor. زَهَقَ , inf. n. زُهُوقٌ, (assumed tropical:) The horse preceded, went before, got before, outwent, or outstripped. (S, * Msb.) And زَهَقَتِ الرَّاحِلَةُ, inf. n. زُهُوقٌ (ISk, S, K) and زَهْقٌ, (TA as from the K, [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K,]) (tropical:) The saddle-camel preceded, went before, got before, outwent, or outstripped, the horses, or horsemen; (ISk, JK, * S, K, TA;) and ↓ انزهقت signifies the same.

(Mgh, Msb.) The phrase القَتْلُ إِِزْهَاقٌ means (assumed tropical:) Slaughter is a cause of making the soul to come to nought, and to depart.

” [(assumed tropical:) I fear that she may shift it forward, and throw it upon her neck, or it may shift backwards]: [thus, says J,] cited to me by Abu-lGhowth, with زَاى. (S.)

(TA.) ― -b2- (tropical:) A deep well; (JK, S, K;) as also ↓ زَاهِقَةٌ ; [in the TA زَاهِقٌ;] and in like manner both are applied to a place of destruction (مَتْلَفَةٌ); (JK;) and to a مَتْلَفَة [app. meaning a desert in which people perish] as meaning far-extending. (Ham p. 23.) And in like manner, (S,) the former is also applied [app. as an epithet] to a فَجّ [or road, or depressed road,] of an overpeering, or overhanging, mountain. (S, K.) ― -b3- Also (tropical:) Light, or active; syn. خَفِيفٌ. (JK.) زَاهِقٌ ذ Perishing, or dying.

(JK.) In the saying of a rájiz, (S, TA,) namely, 'Omárah Ibn-Tárik, (TA,) “ وَمَسَدٍ أُمِرَّ مِنْ أَيَانِقِ
لَسْنَ بِأَنْيَابٍ وَلَا حَقَائِقِ
وَلَا ضِعَافٍ مُخُّهُنَّ زَاهِقُ

” [meaning but of a reddish, or yellowish, or dingy, white hue, of generous race, having compact and full marrow]. (TA.) أُزْهُوقَةٌ ذ sing. of أَزَاهِيق in the phrase فَرَسٌ ذَاتُ أًزَاهِيقَ (tropical:) A mare having wonderful, or admirable, qualities in running: (A, TA:) or this means a mare having a swift running.
