Under "Burdah Chapter one". There is a large space between 2 arabic verses.

I'd like to align that spacing of each arabic verse in the centre.

Is this possible without using a table?

Typesetting Arabic Poetry in InDesign is tricky if you want a classic appearance. I searched now on youtube for you and found this video in Arabic which may help you.

 

Having said that, I know the best tool/plug-in that will help you to properly set poems in InDesign is Tasmeem. Unfortunately and surprisingly the company "Winsoft" aren't selling it anymore.
