(To do something) for fun, only for the sake of personal interest


Explanation:
This is one of those cases where one really needs context to give an appropriate translation.

Both Aburiaz sahib and Irshad Muhammad sahib gave accurate translations which describe the adjective form.

I'm offering one more suggestion which is for use of the word as an adverb.
