ذکر و فکر

Allama Iqbal
Bahrمجتث مثمن مخبون محذوف
مفاعلن فَعِلاتن مفاعلن فَعِلن
arooz scans 2 of 6 lines

یہ ہیں سب ایک ہی سالِک کی جُستجو کے مقام

وہ جس کی شان میں آیا ہے ’عَلَّم الاسما‘arooz could not scan this line

مقامِ ذکر، کمالاتِ رومیؔ و عطّارؔarooz could not scan this line

مقامِ فکر، مقالاتِ بوعلیؔسِیناarooz could not scan this line

مقامِ فکر ہے پیمائشِ زمان و مکاں

مقامِ ذکر ہے سُبحانَ ربیّ الاعلیٰarooz 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.
