Altaf Hussain Hali (1837–1914)
Rubai metreہزج — شجرۂ اخرب و اخرم
Its lines take awzan from both families, akhrab and akhram — as a rubai may. Each line is read against the rubai’s 24 awzan; the wazn arooz found is set under the line.
This qita is written in the rubai’s metre, so arooz reads its lines against the rubai’s 24 awzan rather than one bahr.
arooz scans 3 of 4 lines
حالیؔ کو جو کل فسردہ خاطر پایا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
پوچھا باعث تو ہنس کے یہ فرمایا
Wazn: مفعولن فاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
رکھو نہ اب اگلی صحبتوں کی امیدarooz could not scan this line
وہ وقت گئے اب اور موسم آیا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
A small circle marks a line arooz could not fit to any of the rubai’s 24 awzan. That is a limit of arooz, not of the poet: a word may be missing from arooz’s dictionary, the text may leave an izafat unwritten, or the line may use a licence arooz does not yet model.
