So I swear by the setting places of the stars.

No! I swear by the fallings of the stars

NAY, I call to witness the coming-down in parts [of this Qur’an]

I swear by the setting of the stars -

So I swear by Mawaqi (setting or the mansions, etc.) of the stars (they traverse).

I swear by the locations of the stars.

I swear by the locations of the stars.

I swear by the places where the stars set!

I swear by the fallings of the stars

Then I swear by the setting of the stars,

falā uq'simu bimawāqiʿi l-nujūmi

Nay, I swear by the setting of the stars --

Furthermore I call to witness the setting of the Stars,-
