1. ثلجٌ بآذارَ أمِ الكافورُ في

    مزاجِهِ ولونِهِ والمطعمِ

    Is it snow in March, or camphor in

    its nature, its color, and its taste?

  2. لولاهُ سالتْ بالفلا دماؤنا

    من عادَةِ الكافورُ إمساكُ الدمِ

    Without it, our blood would have flowed in the wilderness;

    It is camphor’s habit to staunch blood.
