...and I am the dark of this our new day

In old days, people used to memorize important dates/events with help of some coincidental situations etc. This concept is called 'gandhan' in Punjabi. Bullay Shah used this concept in his poetry many times. e.g. He described the chaotic situation of punjab in 18th century with help of gandhan.
