وَالْقَمَرَ
قَدَّرْنَاهُ
مَنَازِلَ
حَتَّى
عَادَ
كَالْعُرْجُونِ

As for the moon, We have ordained its phases, until it becomes like an old palm leaf.
— Ali Quli Qarai
And the Moon,- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk.
