کل تک تھی خلد خانہ زاد دہلی
Qalaq Meerathi (1835–1880)
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.

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.
