How it is used
The base verb تَرَكَ covers both deliberate leaving and leaving under compulsion — Lane contrasts the Qur'anic وَٱتْرُكِ البَحْرَ رَهْوًا ('leave the sea', by choice) with كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِنْ جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ ('how many gardens they left', by necessity). It is also the ordinary verb for a deceased person leaving behind property (تَرَكَ المَيِّتُ مَالًا), and appears in an idiom of blessing (لا تارك) alongside 'may God not bless him'.
