Noun

مصراع • (mesrâ')

  1. (poetry) hemistich; half of a بیت (beyt, “line of verse”)

Usage notes
  • When translating into European languages, the length of a مصراع (mesrâ') usually corresponds to a line, and a بیت (beyt) to a two-line couplet. However, within the Persian tradition, the بیت (beyt) is considered the integral unit of poetry and the مصراع (mesrâ') is a secondary internal division.
