«فَانْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَتَيْتُ، وَقَضَيْتُ الْعَجَبَ مِمَّا رَأَيْتُ»
I left by the way I had come and was filled with wonder at what I had seen.
Inṣaraftu means to depart or turn back; min ḥaythu ataytu means the way from which I came; al-ʿajab is astonishment.
This ends the Ṣanʿāʾ maqāmah. Its conclusion emphasizes surprise rather than a tidy verdict on every aspect of the character.
