Competing (or fighting) with pearls


Explanation:
Although the sack of rice originated from Pakistan (as the best variety of 'Baasmati' rice in the world is produced there), but these words are Arabic words and not Urdu. These words are intended to advertise the quality of the product to the Arabic speaking people.

Further information can be acquired from some Arabic speaking person.

reflective of very high quality of rice resembling pearls of jannah(rare and novel) as Quran quotes fairies in jannah will resemble luluh and marjaan(very precious and priceless).
