Overall Meaning:
The song "Mohe Apne He Rang Mein" is a devotional track by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, paying homage to the Sufi saint Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. The song is a request to Nijaam (another name for Nizamuddin Auliya) to imbue the singer with his own divine colors.
The opening lines of the song address Nizamuddin Auliya and call him "Sahib Ji Sultan Ji Tum Baro Gareeb Nawaj," meaning "you are a nobleman who helps the poor." The singer then asks him to keep him under his protection and influence.
The main chorus "Mohe Apne He Rang Mein Rang Le Nijaam" is a plea to Nizamuddin Auliya to fill the singer with his own divine colors. The singer is asking the saint to imbue him completely, so no other colors or influences can affect him. The singer also addresses the saint as "Mehboob-E-Ilaahi," which means "Beloved of the Divine."
The song is a beautiful representation of the devotional poetry of the Sufi tradition and the intense relationship between the devotee and the divine. The use of the Urdu language adds a poetic touch, which elevates the spiritual experience.
