وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
Wa a llayli wam a wasaq a
and the night, and what it [step by step] unfolds,
  - Mohammad Asad
by the night and all that it gathers together;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And by the night and whatever it envelops!
  - Mustafa Khattab
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
The Night and its Homing; 6045
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

(2) The Night is a phenomenon you see during almost half every twenty-four hours in ordinary latitudes. At nightfall, all the wandering flocks and herds come home. The men scattered abroad for their livehood return home to rest and sleep. The Night collects them in their homes, and yet this phase of Homing lasts but a little while. Presently all is silent and still. So will it be with our souls when this life is ended with our death. We shall be collected in a newer and larger Homing.
