کم ظرف اگر دولت و زر پاتا ہے
Amjad Hyderabadi (1878–1961)
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.

کم ظرف اگر دولت و زر پاتا ہے
Wazn: مفعول مفاعیل مفاعیلن فِع
مانند حباب ابھر کے اتر آتا ہےarooz could not scan this line
کرتے ہیں ذرا سی بات پر فکر خسیس
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیل فعول
تنکا تھوڑی سی ہوا سے اڑ جاتا ہے
Wazn: مفعولن مفعول 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.
