وَمَا And not wamā are alike yastawī the two seas l-baḥrāni This hādhā (is) fresh ʿadhbun sweet furātun pleasant sāighun its drink sharābuhu and this wahādhā salty mil'ḥun (and) bitter ujājun And from wamin each kullin you eat takulūna meat laḥman fresh ṭariyyan and you extract watastakhrijūna ornaments ḥil'yatan you wear them talbasūnahā and you see watarā the ships l-ful'ka in it fīhi cleaving mawākhira so that you may seek litabtaghū of min His Bounty faḍlihi and that you may walaʿallakum be grateful tashkurūna
And not alike are the two seas [i.e., 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.
