Default Problem typing Persian poetry and justify all lines

I have problem typing Persian verse (right-to-left). The problem is that each line of Persian verse (which in Persian is named Beyt) comomnly consists of two pieces (which in Persian is named a Mesra'), in a way that the verse in its entirety is seen in two "columns". Although it does necessarily need to be so, it would be more eye-catching if both pieces of every single line have justified alignment, which will lead to the two "columns" have a Justified alignment. I manage to give the end of the whole line a Justified alignment by pressing Shift+Enter, which naturally includes the second piece of a line, but I am unable to make the first piece (left piece, as Persian is a right-to-left language) have a justified alignment. I attach two images, showing the acceptable and unacceptable alignmnets in the first (left) piece of every line. I use "Tab" to create columns. Please note that using tables for this purpose would be totally good-for-nothing, as the poem I am typing is several hundred pages. Now, I try to attach an image of the acceptable (preferred) format (originally typed in an Iranian text editing program named Zarnegār):
Acceptable Sample .jpg and an image of the unacceptable format (one that I dislike, typed in MS Office Word):

I had to edit the text and photos. Thank you.
