Adversity; difficulty; distress; (S, K;) drought: (S:) pl. لِزَبٌ (IJ, K: in the CK لَزْبٌ) and لَزْبَاتٌ: (S, K:) the latter with the ز quiescent, because it is [originally] an epithet. (S.)

(S.) En-Nábighah says, " فَلَا تَحْسِبُونَ الخَيْرَ لَا شَرَّ بَعْدَهُ وَلَا تَحْسِبُونَ الشَّرَّ ضَرْبَةَ لَازِبِ " [Then think ye not that good shall have no evil after it, nor think ye that evil shall be a constant infliction]. (S.) Sgh says, of the conversion of رِوَاغَةٌ into رِيَاغَةٌ, or of و into ى because of kesreh before it, هٰذَا القَلْبُ لَيْسَ بِضَرْبٍ لَازِبٍ [This conversion is not a necessary sort.] (TA in art. روغ.)
