مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ
Maraja alba h rayni yaltaqiy a n i
He has given freedom to the two great bodies of water, so that they might meet:
  - Mohammad Asad
He has made the two oceans apparently meeting together,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He merges the two bodies of 'fresh and salt' water,
  - Mustafa Khattab
He hath loosed the two seas. They meet.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
He has let free the two bodies of flowing water meeting together: 5185
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

See xxv. 53, and n. 3111, where it is explained how the two bodies of water, salt and sweet, meet together, yet keep separate, as if there was a barrier or partition between them. This is also one of the favours of Allah. Sea-water is a sanitating agent, while fresh water is sweet and palatable to drink.
