Verse 12

وَمَا And not يَسْتَوِى are alike ٱلْبَحْرَانِ the two seas هَـٰذَا This عَذْبٌۭ (is) fresh فُرَاتٌۭ sweet سَآئِغٌۭ pleasant شَرَابُهُۥ its drink وَهَـٰذَا and this مِلْحٌ salty أُجَاجٌۭ ۖ (and) bitter وَمِن And from كُلٍّۢ each تَأْكُلُونَ you eat لَحْمًۭا meat طَرِيًّۭا fresh وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ and you extract حِلْيَةًۭ ornaments تَلْبَسُونَهَا ۖ you wear them وَتَرَى and you see ٱلْفُلْكَ the ships فِيهِ in it مَوَاخِرَ cleaving لِتَبْتَغُوا۟ so that you may seek مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty وَلَعَلَّكُمْ and that you may تَشْكُرُونَ be grateful ١٢

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.
