وما يستوي البحران هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح اجاج ومن كل تاكلون لحما طريا وتستخرجون حلية تلبسونها وترى الفلك فيه مواخر لتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون

Nor are the two bodies Of flowing water alike,— The one palatable, sweet, And pleasant to drink, And the other, salt And bitter. Yet from each (Kind of water) do ye Eat flesh fresh and tender, And ye extract ornaments To wear; and thou seest The ships therein that plough The waves, that ye may Seek (thus) of the Bounty Of God that ye May be grateful.
