حَذَارِ ذ [an imperative verbal noun] meaning Beware; be cautious, wary, or on thy guard; or take care. (S, A, K.) The poet (Abu-n-Nejm, TA) says, “ حَذَارِ مِنْ أَرْمَاحِنَا حَذَارِ
” Beware of our spears: beware. (S, A.) And you say, سُمِعَتْ حَذَارِ فِى عَسْكَرِهِمْ [The cry “ Beware ” was heard in their army]. (TA.) When the word is repeated, the second is sometimes with tenween: (K:) but this is only in poetry, when required by the metre, as in the following verse, cited by Lh: “ حَذَارِ حَذَارٍ مِنْ فَوَارِسِ دَارِمٍ
أَبَا خَالِدٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَتَنَدَّمَا
” [Beware, beware of the horsemen of Dárim, O Aboo-Khálid, before that thou repent]. (TA.) You say also, حَذَارِكَ, [with the ك of allocution,] meaning Beware thou. (Lh, TA.) And when you caution a person [against another], ↓ حَذَرَكَ زَيْدًا [Beware thou of Zeyd]; (K, * TA;) and حَذَارَيْكَ زَيْدًا, (K,) which latter means Beware thou, and beware thou again, of Zeyd: both then [also] being verbal nouns. (TA.)
