عجم ہنوز نداند رموزِ دیں، ورنہarooz could not scan this line

ز دیوبند حُسین احمد! ایں چہ بوالعجبی استarooz could not scan this line

سرود بر سرِ منبر کہ مِلّت از وطن است

چہ بے خبر ز مقامِ محمدِؐ عربی استarooz could not scan this line

بمصطفیٰؐ برساں خویش را کہ دیں ہمہ اوستarooz could not scan this line

اگر بہ او نرسیدی، تمام بولہبی استarooz could not scan this line

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.
