ٱلْكَهْف : ٦٠

  • وَإِذۡ And when
  • قَالَ said
  • مُوسَىٰ Musa
  • لِفَتَىٰهُ to his boy
  • لَآ Not
  • أَبۡرَحُ I will cease
  • حَتَّىٰٓ until
  • أَبۡلُغَ I reach
  • مَجۡمَعَ the junction
  • ٱلۡبَحۡرَيۡنِ (of) the two seas
  • أَوۡ or
  • أَمۡضِيَ I continue
  • حُقُبٗا (for) a long period
And [mention] when Moses said to his boy [i.e., servant], "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
And, mention, when Moses, son of Amram ('Imraan), said to his lad, Joshua son of Nun (Yoosha' bin Noon), who used to follow him around, serve him and acquire knowledge from him, 'I will not give up, I will not stop journeying, until I have reached the juncture of the two seas - the point where the Byzantine sea and the Persian sea meet, beyond the east, - though I march on for ages', for a very long time before reaching it, if it be far.
