«رِجْعِتِ الْمَيَّهْ لْمَجَارِيهَا»

The saying pictures water that had stopped or strayed finding its familiar channels again. It marks the moment when something that was interrupted resumes its usual flow, and the normal order of things takes hold once more. The image is figurative; the saying is not a remark about actual water or irrigation.

In social terms, it expresses relief that a break has healed. A falling-out between people, a disrupted household, or a suspended habit has returned to how it used to be, and the speaker welcomes the restored normality.

Say it once a broken routine, friendship, or arrangement has been restored: after a quarrel is patched up, after estranged relatives start visiting again, or when work resumes after a halt. It sounds warm, relieved, and conversational.
