translator's name verse
Arberry It behoves not the sun to overtake the moon, neither does the night outstrip the day, each swimming in a sky.
Maududi Neither does it lie in the sun's power to overtake the moon nor can the night outstrip the day. All glide along, each in its own orbit.
Pickthall It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
Sahih 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.
Yusuf Ali It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
