and ↓ فَرْحَانُ (Msb, K) and ↓ فَرُحٌ, as in some copies of the K and in the L and other lexicons, or ↓ فَرُوحٌ, as in other copies and mentioned by IJ, (TA,) and ↓ فَارِحٌ and ↓ مَفْرُوحٌ, (K,) the last mentioned by IJ; (TA;) fem. [of the first] فَرِحَةٌ and [of the second] فَرْحَى (Msb, K) and فَرْحَانَةٌ, (K,) but of the correctness of this last ISd was not certain: (TA:) pl. [of the first] فَرِحُونَ (S, Msb) and [of the second] فَرَاحَى and فَرْحَى: (K, TA:) Rejoicing, joyful, or glad; or happy: (Msb, K:) [or experiencing a sensation of lightness in the heart: or having the bosom dilated with delight, or pleasure, of short continuance, transitory, or fleeting, not lasting, as is the case in bodily and worldly pleasures. See فَرَحٌ.] Hence, in the Kur [iii. 164], فَرِحِينَ بِمَا آتَاهُمُ ٱللّٰهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ [Rejoicing by reason of that which God has given them of his bounty]. (Msb.) ― -b2- And Well pleased, or content: whence, in the Kur [xxiii. 55 and xxx. 31], كُلُّ حِزْبٍ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ فَرِحُونَ [Every sect is well pleased, or content, with that religion which it has]. (Msb.) ― -b3- And Exulting, or rejoicing above measure; or exulting greatly, and behaving insolently and unthankfully, or ungratefully: (S, Msb, K:) whence, in the Kur [xxviii. 76], إِنَّ ٱللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الفَرِحِينَ [Verily God does not love those who exult, or rejoice above measure; &c.]. (S, Msb.)

A cause of joy or gladness, or of happiness; a thing whereby one is made joyful or glad, or happy; as also ↓ فَرْحَةٌ; syn. مَسَرَّةٌ. (K.) ― -b2- And A thing that thou givest to him that rejoices thee; (L, K;) a recompense that thou givest him; (L;) [as also ↓ فَرْحَةٌ; for] you say, لَكَ عِنْدِى فَرْحَةٌ إِنْ بَشَّرْتَنِى, (S, A, [in one of my copies of the S أَىْ بَشَّرْتَنِى, as though this were an explanation, but the former is the right reading,]) and فُرْحَةٌ, (S,) meaning بُشْرَى [i. e. There is for thee, with me, a gift for announcing a joyful event, if thou announce to me such an event]. (A.)
