1. وما يدري الصدى في النحو شيئاً

    سوى بابِ الحكايةِ والخطابِ

    And the echo knows nothing of grammar,

    Except the chapter on quotation and direct address.

  2. إذا ناديتَ أينَ مضى صحابي

    حكاكَ وقالَ أينَ مضى صحابي

    When you call out, “Where have my companions gone?”

    It echoes you and says, “Where have my companions gone?”
