وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْبَحْرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌۭ فُرَاتٌۭ سَآئِغٌۭ شَرَابُهُۥ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌۭ ۖ وَمِن كُلٍّۢ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًۭا طَرِيًّۭا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ حِلْيَةًۭ تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ وَتَرَى ٱلْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿12﴾

35:12. And not alike are the two bodies of water. One is fresh and sweet, palatable for drinking, and one is salty and bitter. And from each you eat tender meat and extract ornaments which you wear, and you see the ships plowing through [them] that you might seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
اور دونوں دریا (مل کر) یکساں نہیں ہوجاتے۔ یہ تو میٹھا ہے پیاس بجھانے والا۔ جس کا پانی خوشگوار ہے اور یہ کھاری ہے کڑوا۔ اور سب سے تم تازہ گوشت کھاتے ہو اور زیور نکالتے ہو جسے پہنتے ہو۔ اور تم دریا میں کشتیوں کو دیکھتے ہو کہ (پانی کو) پھاڑتی چلی آتی ہیں تاکہ تم اس کے فضل سے (معاش) تلاش کرو اور تاکہ شکر کرو
