مدتوں کور نگاہی دل کی

نور عرفاں کو ترستی رہتی

تو جو خورشید نہ بن کر آتی

ذہن پر اوس برستی رہتیarooz could not scan this line

A small circle marks a line arooz could not fit to the poem’s bahr. That is a limit of arooz, not of the poet: the text may leave an izafat unwritten, a word may be missing from arooz’s dictionary, or the line may use a licence arooz does not yet model.
