شَئِفٌ
[part. n. of شَئِفَ, and properly meaning Having an ulcer, or imposthume, such as is termed
شَأْفَة,] is applied as an epithet to a heart, in the following verse, cited by IKtt,
[in which قُرْصَةَ is doubtless a mistranscription for قَرْحَةَ; the obvious meaning of the verse being,يَا أَيُّهَا الجَاهِلُ أَلَّا تَنْصَرِفْ وَلَمْ تُدَاوِ قُرْصَةَ القَلْبِ الشَّئِفْ
