ਫਰੀਦਾ ਖਾਕੁ ਨ ਨਿੰਦੀਐ ਖਾਕੂ ਜੇਡੁ ਨ ਕੋਇ ॥

fareedaa khaak na nindeeai khaakoo jedd na koe |

Fareed, do not slander the dust; noting is as great as dust.

ਜੀਵਦਿਆ ਪੈਰਾ ਤਲੈ ਮੁਇਆ ਉਪਰਿ ਹੋਇ ॥੧੭॥

jeevadiaa pairaa talai mueaa upar hoe |17|

When we are alive, it is under our feet, and when we are dead, it is above us. ||17||
