Overall Meaning:
The lyrics to "Allah Mohammed Char Yaar Haji Khwaja Quth Farid" by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan are a tribute to the four mystical saints revered in the Islamic faith - Allah, Mohammed, Khwaja (a title for a religious teacher or guide), and Quth (referring to Abdul Qadir Jilani, a Sufi saint). The song honours these figures and especially honours the Sufi saint Fareeduddin Ganjshakar, recognized as one of the founding fathers of the Chishti Sufi order in South Asia. His name is mentioned throughout the song, including "Mera sohna baba ganj e shakar," which means "my handsome father ganj e shakar."
The song speaks of the pain and suffering that people face in the world, but also expresses hope and faith in the power of these mystical figures to provide solace and guidance. The lyrics also speak of the idea of "nisbat waliyan," or being in close spiritual proximity to these saints, which is said to bring about blessings and opportunities that might not be available otherwise. The song encourages listeners to stay true to their faith and to seek comfort and support from these revered figures.
