اے عیش و طرب تو نے جہاں راج کیا
Altaf Hussain Hali (1837–1914)
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
اے عیش و طرب تو نے جہاں راج کیا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فَعَل
سلطاں کو گدا غنی کو محتاج کیا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فَعَل
ویراں کیا تو نے نینواؔ اور بابلؔarooz could not scan this line
بغداد کو 'قرطبہ' کو تاراج 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.
