  1. laughing; a laugh; laughter
    • 11th century, Abulfazl Bayhaqi, edited by Ali-Akbar Fayyaz, Tarikh-i Bayhaqi, page 83:
      و وی هر کسی را لطف می‌کرد و زهر خنده می‌زد – و به هیچ روزگار من او را با خندهٔ فراخ ندیدم، الا همه تبسم، که صعب مردی بود – و سخت فرو شده بود؛ چنان که گفتی می‌داند که چه خواهد بود.
      and he was doing acts of kindness to everyone and was doing forced laughing – and in all my life I never saw him with a joyful laugh, except only smiles, since he was a tough man – and he was so thoughtful; such that he knew what was about to happen.
