def.2 Passing; passing away; going away: past: syn. مَاضٍ; or ذَاهِبٌ: so accord. to some of the lexicologists: or so used sometimes, as, for instance, by the poet El-Aashà: thus it bears two contr. significations. You say, أَنْتَ غَابِرٌ غَدًاوَذِكْرُكَ غَابِرٌ أَبَدًا [Thou passest away to-morrow, but thy fame remaineth for ever].
