وَمِنَ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْهُ وَإِدْبَـٰرَ ٱلنُّجُومِ
Wamina allayli fasabbi h hu waidb a ra a l nnujoom i
and extol His glory at night, and at the time when the stars retreat.
  - Mohammad Asad
and glorify Him in a part of the night, and also as the stars fade away.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And glorify Him during part of the night and at the fading of the stars.
  - Mustafa Khattab
And in the night time also hymn His praise, and at the setting of the stars.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And for part of the night also praise thou Him and at the retreat of the stars! 5083 5084
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It is not necessary to understand this for any particular canonical prayers. It is good to spend a part of the night in prayer and praise: Cf. lxxiii. 6. And the Dawn is a daily recurring miracle, full of spiritual influences and "testimony": Cf. xvii. 78-79.

Idbar-un-nujum: the setting of the stars: the glorious hour of early dawn. In cxiii. 1, we seek Allah's protection as "Lord of the Dawn".
