Added lines 8-19:

There is the Pankaj Udhas gazal from Ashiyaan

Dhal gaya chaand, ... gayi raat, ... chalo so jaayen ...

This refers to the day breaking as the Moon is setting. That happens only when it is a Full Moon.

There is this song - an old one " Aadha hai Chandrama, Raat Adhi ..." from the film Navrang

This is connected with the relative positioning of the Sun and the Moon, when the Moon is half.

When the Chand is adha and it is adhi raat, the Moon is either just rising - it is a waning half Moon, or is just setting, it is a waxing Half Moon.

Think of a curve of a crowded lane, which allows only a small segment of the sky, about 18 degrees to the South of East, visible. Well, in this case, it will only be once in 18 years, that us gali mein chand niklega :-) This, due to a phenomena known as Lunar Standstills. What ere they? Participate in the Moon Carnival, to find out!
