Rubai metreہزج — شجرۂ اخرب
Every line arooz scans is in the akhrab family (opening مفعول). 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
زہاد کو تو نے محو تمجید کیا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فَعَل
عشاق کو مست لذت دید کیاarooz could not scan this line
طاعت میں رہا نہ حق کی ساجھی کوئی
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
توحید کو تو نے آ کے توحید کیا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فَعَل
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.
