Wama yastawee albahranihatha AAathbun furatun sa-ighun sharabuhuwahatha milhun ojajun wamin kullinta/kuloona lahman tariyyan watastakhrijoona hilyatantalbasoonaha watara alfulka feehi mawakhiralitabtaghoo min fadlihi walaAAallakum tashkuroona وما يستوي البحران هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح أجاج ومن كل تأكلون لحما طريا وتستخرجون حلية تلبسونها وترى الفلك فيه مواخر لتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِ هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

  اور دو سمندر (یا دریا) برابر نہیں ہو سکتے، یہ (ایک) شیریں، پیاس بجھانے والا ہے، اس کا پینا خوشگوار ہے اور یہ (دوسرا) کھاری، سخت کڑوا ہے، اور تم ہر ایک سے تازہ گوشت کھاتے ہو، اور زیور (جن میں موتی، مرجان اور مونگے وغیرہ سب شامل ہیں) نکالتے ہو، جنہیں تم پہنتے ہو اور تُو اس میں کشتیوں (اور جہازوں) کو دیکھتا ہے جو (پانی کو) پھاڑتے چلے جاتے ہیں تاکہ تم (بحری تجارت کے راستوں سے) اس کا فضل تلاش کر سکو اور تاکہ تم شکرگزار ہو جاؤ

Yousuf AliNor 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 Allah that ye may be grateful.
