شُقُورٌ ذ (AHeyth, Fr, A'Obeyd, S, K) and ↓ شَقُورٌ (AHeyth, As, Abu-l-Jarráh, S, K) A want; or a needful, or requisite, thing, affair, or business: (S, K:) or the former signifies wants: (Ham p. 716:) A'Obeyd says that the former word is the more correct, because شُقُورٌ signifies things, or affairs, that cleave to the heart, disquieting it; and is pl. of ↓ شَقْرٌ ; and that ↓ شَقُورٌ , with fet-h, has the signification of an epithet [meaning cleaving to the heart and disquieting it]: (S:) or, accord. to some, this latter signifies grief, mourning, sorrow, or sadness; disquietude of mind: or disquietude of mind that causes one to be sleepless: the former is also expl. as signifying a man's case, and his secret: and ↓ both are also said to signify tidings: and a man's state, or condition. (TA.) One says, أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِشُقُورِى I acquainted him with my want; like as one says أَفْضَيْتُ إِِلَيْهِ بِعُجَرِى وَبُجَرِى: (S:) or I acquainted him with my tidings. (TA.) And أَفْضَيْتُ إِِلَيْهِ بِشُقُورِى I acquainted him with my case, and with what I kept secret from others; (TA;) and so نَفَضْتُ لَهُ شُقُورِى: (Ham p. 716:) or I revealed to him my secret, and acquainted him with all my affairs. (Mgh.) And ↓ بَثَّهُ شَقُورَهُ , and شُقُورَهُ, He complained to him of his state, or condition. (M, TA.)
