غریبی میں ہُوں محسودِ امیری

کہ غیرت مند ہے میری فقیریarooz could not scan this line

حذر اُس فقر و درویشی سے، جس نے

مسلماں کو سِکھا دی سر بزیری!

A small circle marks a line arooz could not fit to the poem’s bahr. That is a limit of arooz, not of the poet: the text may leave an izafat unwritten, a word may be missing from arooz’s dictionary, or the line may use a licence arooz does not yet model.
