Surah Ya-Sin (يس) • Ya Sin

Quran 36:40

36:40

لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

lā l-shamsu yanbaghī lahā an tud'rika l-qamara walā al-laylu sābiqu l-nahāri wakullun fī falakin yasbaḥūna

The sun cannot overtake the moon, nor can the night outrun the day: each floats in [its own] orbit.

It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit.
