اب وقت عزیز کو تو یوں کھوؤگے
Mir Taqi Mir (1723–1810)
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.

اب وقت عزیز کو تو یوں کھوؤگےarooz could not scan this line
پر سوچ کے غفلت کے تئیں روؤگےarooz could not scan this line
کیا خواب گراں پہ میل روز و شب ہے
Wazn: مفعول مفاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
جاگو ٹک میرؔ پھر بہت سوؤگےarooz 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.
