وَجَعَلْنَا
اللَّيْلَ
وَالنَّهَارَ
آيَتَيْنِ
فَمَحَوْنَا
آيَةَ
اللَّيْلِ
وَجَعَلْنَا
آيَةَ
النَّهَارِ
مُبْصِرَةً
لِّتَبْتَغُوا
فَضْلًا
مِّن
رَّبِّكُمْ
وَلِتَعْلَمُوا
عَدَدَ
السِّنِينَ
وَالْحِسَابَ
وَكُلَّ
شَيْءٍ
فَصَّلْنَاهُ
تَفْصِيلًا

We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.
— Abdullah Yusufali
We made the night and the day two signs. Then We faded out the sign of the night, and made the sign of the day lightsome, so that you may seek from your Lord’s bounty and that you may know the number of years and calculation [of time], and We have elaborated everything in detail.
