شیخِ مکتب ہے اک عمارت گر

جس کی صنعت ہے رُوحِ انسانی

نُکتۂ دلپذیر تیرے لیے

کہہ گیا ہے حکیمِ قاآنیؔarooz could not scan this line

“پیشِ خورشید بر مکش دیوارarooz could not scan this line

خواہی ار صحنِ خانہ نورانی”arooz 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.
