Sura 36 Ya-Sin (Ya Sin), ayah 40

  1. لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

    Translation by words

    لَا
    Not
    ٱلشَّمْسُ
    the sun
    يَنۢبَغِى
    is permitted
    لَهَآ
    for it -
    أَن
    that
    تُدْرِكَ
    it overtakes
    ٱلْقَمَرَ
    the moon,
    وَلَا
    and not
    ٱلَّيْلُ
    the night
    سَابِقُ
    (can) outstrip
    ٱلنَّهَارِ
    the day,
    وَكُلٌّ
    but all
    فِى
    in
    فَلَكٍ
    an orbit
    يَسْبَحُونَ
    they are floating.

    It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

    36:40
