حَذَارِ

Root: حذر

Full Definition

حَذَارِ [an imperative verbal noun] meaning Beware; be cautious, wary, or on thy guard; or take care. The poet says, حَذَارِ مِنْ أَرْمَاحِنَا حَذَارِ Beware of our spears: beware. And you say, سُمِعَتْ حَذَارِ فِى عَسْكَرِهِمْ [The cry “ Beware ” was heard in their army]. When the word is repeated, the second is sometimes with tenween: 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]. You say also, حَذَارِكَ, [with the ك of allocution,] meaning Beware thou. And when you caution a person [against another], زَيْدًا [Beware thou of Zeyd]; and حَذَارَيْكَ زَيْدًا, which latter means Beware thou, and beware thou again, of Zeyd: both then [also] being verbal nouns.
