وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا Qur’an An-Naziat (79:29)
Wa aghtasha lailaha wa akhraja duhaaha.
and He has made dark its night and brought forth its light of day.
  - Mohammad Asad

He gave darkness to the night and brightness to the day.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He dimmed its night, and brought forth its daylight.
  - Mustafa Khattab

And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

Its night doth He endow with darkness and its splendor doth He bring out (with light). 5936
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Its of course refers to the starry heaven. Both the Night and the Day have each its own beauty and its utility for man, as has been frequently pointed out in the Qur-an. The night is a period of darkness, but it has also its splendours of light in the moon, or the planets Jupiter or Venus, or stars like Sirius or the Milky Way. These countless lights of night have their own beauty, and by day there is the splendour of the sun for us, which in Creation as a whole, is just one of countless stars.
