لَيْلٌ : see نَهَارٌ . ― -b2- بَنَاتُ اللَّيْلِ Wishes: (T, TA in art. بنى :) and anxieties. (TA ibid.) ― -b3- اِبْنُ اللَّيْلِ The thief, or robber: (T in art. بنى :) and the wayfarer, or traveller. (Er-Rághib in TA in that art.) ― -b4- أَخُو اللَّيْلِ A nightfarer: see a verse cited voce عَدَسَ .

لَيْلَةٌ A night-journey, or night's journey. ― -b2- رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِى مَنَامِى ; and كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا اللَّيْلَةَ ; and مَا أَشْبَهَ اللَّيْلَةَ بِالبَارِحَهْ : see above, p. 183 a.

أُمُّ لَيْلَى Wine: لَيْلَى signifying النَّشْوَةُ . (T in art. ام .)
