وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَـٰلُهَا وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا

since its [blissful] shades will come down low over them,14 and low will hang down its clusters of fruit, most easy to reach.15
  - Mohammad Asad

Regarding the allegorical implication of the term "shades" (zilal), see note [74] on 4:57 . It is to be noted that the existence of shade presupposes the existence of light (Jawhari), which latter is one of the characteristics implicit in the concept of "paradise".

Lit., "in all humility".

The trees of paradise will spread their shade around them, and their fruits will hang in clusters within their easy reach.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
The Garden's shade will be right above them, and its fruit will be made very easy to reach.
  - Mustafa Khattab
The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And the shades of the (Garden) will come low over them and the bunches (of fruit) there will hang low in humility. 5846
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Without sun and moon there will of course be no shade in the literal sense of the word. But for full comfort, there will be sheltering shade for rest and change from whatever light there be.
