رقص

Allama Iqbal
Bahrرمل مثمن سالم مخبون محذوف
فاعلاتن فَعِلاتن فَعِلاتن فَعِلن
arooz scans 3 of 4 lines

چھوڑ یورپ کے لیے رقصِ بدن کے خم و پیچ

رُوح کے رقص میں ہے ضربِ کِلیم اللّٰہی!arooz could not scan this line

صِلہ اُس رقص کا ہے تشنگیِ کام و دہن

صِلہ اِس رقص کا درویشی و شاہنشاہی!

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.
