ملی نہ وسعتِ جولان یک جنون ہم کوarooz could not scan this line

عدم کو لے گۓ دل میں غبارِ صحرا کو

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.
