کس طور سے کس طرح سے کیوں کر پایا
Ismail Meeruthi (1844–1917)
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
کس طور سے کس طرح سے کیوں کر پایا
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
دل نظر کیا سراغ دلبر پایاarooz could not scan this line
باقی رہا مدعا نہ دعویٰ نہ دلیل
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فعول
کھوئے گئے آپ ہی تو سب بھر پایا
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.
