Hindi term or phrase: रज के नेक
और फिर वह बेबस हाकर हथेलियाँ मलने लगा है और उसकी पगड़ी ढीली होकर कन्धों पर ढलक आयी है और वह राहगीरों को बता रहा है, बड़ा नेक पुत्तर है जी, रज के नेक! अपनी मरी हुई मां का आशीर्वाद लेने ऊपर चला गया है जी!...

This sentence appears in the same Urdu short story by Joginder Paul. This seems to be a Punjabi phrase. I am floored by 'रज' . An explanation of this word and an indication of linguistically related words and phrases would be very helpful.
