اب قوم کی جو رسم ہے سو اول جلول
Ismail Meeruthi (1844–1917)
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.

اب قوم کی جو رسم ہے سو اول جلول
Wazn: مفعول مفاعیل مفاعیل فعول
فاسد ہوئے قاعدے تو بگڑے معمول
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِعْل
ہے عید مہذب نہ محرم معقولarooz could not scan this line
ہنسنا محمود ہے نہ رونا مقبول
Wazn: مفعولن فاعلن مفاعیلن فِعْل
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.
