حللت أهلا ووطأت سهلا

Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Hi everyone,

This is from a North African text, and the context is one cousin saying it to another.

Does it mean something along the lines of 'welcome, my home is your home?'

حللت أهلا ووطأت سهلا، تعال ساعدني وأعطني علبة سجائرك

Thanks!
