The full moon is visible on every 14th night (of the lunar month), but the uninitiated people look for the new moon on the 29th of the month. Despite the full moon why should people look for a partial moon? They are not to blame (due to their lack of understanding.) Let them ascertain from me whatever they want to in that connection.
مزرع سبز فلک دیدم و داس مہ نو
یادم از کشتہ خویش آمد و هنگام درو
(Hafiz)
The green span of the sky and the scythe - like new moon reminded me of my field (life) and the time of its harvest (death).
Allah has made the crescent the Key of the month, newly arrived for new affairs . (Hazrat Ali)

The full moon* has already risen,
But people look for the new moon on the twenty ninth night,'
They are not to be blamed, any one can ask me.
