Arabic term or phrase: فُرِجَت أساريره
Hi everyone,

Does this mean his face lit up? I also don't get how it works with the character moaning/groaning first.

قال متأوّهًا ثم فُرِجَت أساريره.
استقبلنا استقبالا حسنًا ونادى ابنته.

This is an older man welcoming a new guest to his restaurant who he finds out is from his hometown.

Thanks!
