Noun
مصراع • (mesrâ')
- (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.
