وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِۗ هٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَٓائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهٰذَا مِلْحٌ اُجَاجٌۜ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَاْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَاۚ وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ ف۪يهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِه۪ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ١٢

English Translation
12The two great bodies of water are not alike: the water of one is fresh and pleasant to drink, while that of the other is salty and bitter. Yet from each of them you eat fresh meat and bring out ornaments to wear as jewelry. And you see the ships cleaving through the waters as they sail the seas, so that you may seek your share of Allah's bounty and give the blessings their due and be grateful.
