یاران نبی سے رکھ تولّا باللہ
Mirza Ghalib (1797–1869)
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.
arooz scans 1 of 4 lines

ہر یک ہے کمال دیں میں یکتا باللہarooz could not scan this line
وہ دوست نبی کے اور تم ان کے دشمن
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
لا حول ولا قوۃ الا باللہarooz could not scan this line
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.
