ਧੂੜ ਘਟੇ ਦਾ ਵਪਾਰ ਰਹੀ ਕਰਦੀ, ਲਾਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਅੱਜ ਕਰਨ ਆਈ
I had been trading in dust and pebbles; today I have come to trade in rubies.

dhoor ghatte da vapaar rahi kardi, laalaan da ajj karan aayi
ਧੂੜ (dhoor) = dust
ਘਟੇ (ghatte) = pebbles / small stones
ਦਾ (da) = of
ਵਪਾਰ (vapaar) = trade / business
ਰਹੀ ਕਰਦੀ (rahi kardi) = kept doing
ਲਾਲਾਂ (laalaan) = rubies / precious jewels
ਦਾ (da) = of
ਅੱਜ (ajj) = today
ਕਰਨ (karan) = to do
ਆਈ (aayi) = cameThe line contrasts worldly pursuits with spiritual treasures. As Baba Ji often explains, people spend their lives collecting things of little lasting value, mistaking dust for treasure. The seeker now realizes the difference and has come to seek the true jewels of Divine love, truth, wisdom, and spiritual wealth.

ਗਲੀਆਂ ਜੱਗ ਦੀਆਂ ਸਭ ਛਾਣ ਕੇ, ਮੈਂ ਅੱਜ ਤੇਰੀ ਗਲੀ ਆਈ
ਧੂੜ ਘਟੇ ਦਾ ਵਪਾਰ ਰਹੀ ਕਰਦੀ, ਲਾਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਅੱਜ ਕਰਨ ਆਈ
