It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon,

nor does the night outrun the day. Each is travelling in an orbit of their own.

An interactive translation by Dr. Sohaib Saeed based on Tafsir Ibn 'Ashur
It is not possible for the sun to catch up to the moon
— nor can the night escape the day — and all are swimming in a fixed orbit.
He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
