Qur'an 67:30 Al-Mulk
قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْرًۭا فَمَن يَأْتِيكُم بِمَآءٍۢ مَّعِينٍۭ
Say, "Have you considered: if your water was to become sunken [into the earth], then who could bring you flowing water?"

What it says
The surah ends on the smallest thing it has named. Ghawr is water gone down into the ground past the reach of a well, and ma'in is water running where the eye can follow it, so the two words are opposite depths of the same thing. Asbaha is to enter the morning and by extension to come to be, which sets the loss at daybreak, discovered rather than watched.
