53 Preface ۞ وَهُوَ الَّذي مَرَجَ البَحرَينِ هٰذا عَذبٌ فُراتٌ وَهٰذا مِلحٌ أُجاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَينَهُما بَرزَخًا وَحِجرًا مَحجورًاAli Quli QaraiIt is He who merged the two seas: this one sweet and agreeable, and that one briny and bitter, and between the two He set a barrier and a forbidding hindrance.
