یقیں، مثلِ خلیل آتش نشینی

یقیں، اللہ مستی، خود گُزینی

سُن، اے تہذیبِ حاضر کے گرفتار

غلامی سے بَتر ہے بے یقینیarooz 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.
