ذوق نظر

Allama Iqbal
Bahrمجتث مثمن مخبون محذوف مسکن
مفاعلن فَعِلاتن مفاعلن فِعْلن
arooz scans 3 of 4 lines

خودی بلند تھی اُس خُوں گرفتہ چینی کی

کہا غریب نے جلاّد سے دمِ تعزیر

ٹھہرَ ٹھہرَ کہ بہت دِل کشا ہے یہ منظرarooz could not scan this line

ذرا میں دیکھ تو لوں تاب ناکیِ شمشیر!

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.
