واحد متکلم کا ہو جو منکر
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.

واحد متکلم کا ہو جو منکر
Wazn: مفعول مفاعیلن مفعولن فِع
وہ صرف کی اصطلاح میں ہے کافر
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
کی ہے تحقیق صرفیان حق نےarooz could not scan this line
حاضر غائب ہے اور غائب حاضر
Wazn: مفعولن فاعلن 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.
