آب حیواں نہیں گوارا ہم کو
Mir Taqi Mir (1723–1810)
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.

کس گھاٹ محبت نے اتارا ہم کو
Wazn: مفعول مفاعیل مفاعیلن فِع
دریا دریا تھا شوق بوسہ لیکن
Wazn: مفعولن فاعلن مفاعیلن فِع
جاں بخش لب یار نے مارا ہم کوarooz 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.
