Use an orientation-preserving isometry to send $P$ to $i$ and $\ell$ to the imaginary axis, whose boundary points are $0,\infty$. A geodesic $m$ through $i$ meeting it at angle $\theta$ has boundary pointsIndeed $uv=-1$, so the semicircle with endpoints $u,v$ passes through $i$, and its tangent there makes angle $\theta$ with the vertical.

The cross-ratio is invariant under the normalizing Möbius transformation. With the suitable ordering $(u,v,\infty ,0)$ and the convention used here,
