ଯସ୍ୟାମ୍ ଜାଗ୍ରତି ଭୂତାନି ସା ନିଶା ପଶ୍ୟତୋ ମୁନେଃ

Selected word meaning:
yaa - what, nishaa - is night, sarva - all, bhutaanaam - of living beings, tasyaam - in that, jaagarti - wakeful, samyamee - the self controlled, yasyaam - that in which, jagrati - awake, bhootaani - all living beings, saa - that is, nishaa - night, pashyatah - for the introspective, muneh - sage

That which is night to all beings, then the self controlled man is awake, when all beings are awake, that is night for the introspective sage.

Commentary of Sri Swami Sivananda: The sage lives in the Self; this is day to him. He is unconscious of worldly phenomena; this is like night to him. The ordinary man is unconscious of his real nature. So life in the Self is like night to him. He experiences sense-objects; this is day to him.
