This song tells a true, yet sad story between a mother and her son; Fairuz met her son Ziad Rahbani by chance in Lebanon after he had left her years prior to marry his love Dalal Karam. In that first meeting, she asked him, "How are you? People have told me you had kids... I really thought you're still abroad.." These exact words inspired Ziad to write the beginning of "til das" (How Are You). He composed the music and presented it to his mom, but she hesitated and kept the song for four years before singing it. Summary of the lyrics: The song reflects on memories of past encounters and emotions. It talks about the last time the singer saw the person, the last words exchanged, and the longing and love that remain despite the passage of time and changes in life.
