Full Definition
مُغَلَّبٌ
Overcome, conquered, &c., repeatedly, several times, or many times; applied to a poet: and judged to have overcome his fellow, much, or often: thus having two contr. significations: an epithet of praise as well as of dispraise: or, when the Arabs say of a poet that he is مُغَلَّب, the meaning is that he is overcome; but if they say, غُلِّبَ فُلَانٌ, the meaning is, such a one has [been judged to have] overcome: thus they say, غُلِّبَتْ لَيْلَى الأَخْيَلِيَّةُ عَلَى نَابِغَةِ بَنِى جَعْدَةَ, for she overcame him, and he was مُغَلَّب.
