Lyrics & Translation
Aaj rang hai ri maa
Rang hai ri
More khaajah ke ghar rang hai ri
Today there is jubilant colour, O mother!
Jubilant colour!
At my Khwaja’s home, there is jubilant colour!
Aaj sajan milaawara more aangan men
Sajan milaawara more aangan men
At my Khwaja’s home, there is jubilant colour!
Today, my sweetheart has come to my home
Aaj rang hai ri maa
Rang hai ri
My sweetheart has come to my home
Today there is jubilant colour, O mother!
Jubilant colour!
Mohe peer paayo nijaam ud-deen auliya
Mohe peer paayo saabir ‘ala ud-deen auliya
Nijaam ud-deen auliya
‘ala ud-deen auliya
I have found my guide - Nizamuddin Auliya
I have found my guide - Alauddin ‘Sabir’
Main to jab dekhoon more sang hai ri maa rang hai ri
Aaj rang hai e maa
Rang hai ri
Whenever I look, he is with me, O mother! There is jubilant colour!
Today, there is jubilant colour, O mother!
Jubilant colour!

Many artists have performed Rang over the centuries since it was first composed in honor of Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia. Most qawwals will close a mehfil with a soulful tribute to Amir Khusro by reciting the Rang. In my opinion, the appeal of Abi’s rendition is more about sincerity and soul, as opposed to some feat of musical genius. Admittedly, I am partial to the Rang and will always maintain a soft spot for artists that continue to keep this tradition alive (particularly young western performers like Abi). That said, when someone drenches themselves in the ‘rang’, it is difficult not to be captivated by the performance (or be awed by the sincerity of their delivery). And with a composition as powerful as Rang, its no surprise that an artist with soul is moving listeners across the world despite the limitations of the pandemic. Much love from Canada.

Everytime I play this track especially the video, I'm left in tears. It makes me feel like my soul is "going home". The girl dancing reminds me of a forest elemental delicately dancing in the forest in harmony with everything around, with such grace and beauty. It's things like this makes me bow before the feminine energy of this universe. And ofcourse the passionate orchestra in the back accompanying it just breaks my ego apart, and makes me feel proud of my homeland and people capable of creating such beautiful art in musical and dance form Thank you abi sampa and everyone involved to make this a reality 🙏🙏🙏 I come here when I'm I'm on the beach/desert/mountain/forest and it takes my soul "home"

[@atanughosal01]

Not probably the "most traditional" way of rendering a Quwali ... but undoubtedly a very unique and thoughtful way of rendering this great Amir Khusrow composition. Sure brings out some fresh new wine out of an old bottle. Brilliant work done, bravo.

[@atanughosal01]

Must also mention that she has a Dolores O'Riordan effect on her voice, where the last note of a phrase cracks up .. that seems to have added some extra flavor in the song.

[@Aestheticsbyfaheem]

the influence and magic of your voice make my soul happy.. this one is another a great "Sufi kalaam" after The master blaster "Man kunto Moula". thank you Abi sampa for Entertaining us. lot's of love from 🇵🇰 ❤️

[@harishwala5882]

This is beautiful. Even without the translation, I can sense the music and the dance movement for what they are. I can't think of a better way to say thank you than, "thank you!" I love it.

[@Randomdudepk]

This composition is to give tribute to the most respectable Saint in India Khwaja Nizam uddin you can google about him

[@laraibalibaig439]

The serenity and the vibrancy of the track have left me awestruck. The likes of Rang and Man kunto maula will reverberate in billions of hearts

First Man Kunto Moula, and now Rang........Amazing, stunning, awesome,....... no word can totally appreciate your work. I was simply mesmerized. Accept love from Pakistan.

[@owaismasood69]

So beautiful yet so ironic. Rang filmed in isolation .I hope and pray that the world heals from this firaq ( isolotion ) and moves towards visal ( unioun ) so that we can all say "Ajj rang hai"

[@himaliatubes7274]

3 Years later and I still love listening to and watching this performance, it reminds me of that hugely challenging Covid environment, isolation etc. You totally lifted my spirits at a crucial stage, thank you again so much :-) Happy Memories thanks to your artistic talent 🙏

[@theurbanashram]

What a priceless gift to the world.. aaj rang hain, aaj rang hain.. the world is a better place because of soul music like this

[@nourmalik5326]

I don’t know why I cried when she started singing.Though I don’t understand it. Music and raag touches the heart for sure ❤️

[@zoom192]

Stunning, please keep making more Qawwalis!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@khaisermehdi]

Wish it was longer than 4.24 mins, Abi you rock, there's authenticity in your singing and it connects instantly. You have kept the spirituality of the song. Don't worry about the less views, only few have good taste of music these days. And huh, have started watching your Voice UK performances as well. Ohh girl, your rock, Abi you have a new fan.

[@HanifKhan-vz4zt]

Bravo! Not just beautifully sung, the cello and guitar are blended in beautifully. Excellent composition, audio and video mixing. This qawwali was not an easy task to pull off. Again, bravo!

[@himaliatubes7274]

Such an incredibly soulful song; totally lifts my spirits, thank you so much @Abi Sampa and Group :-) 🙏

[@liberatosicignano5583]

This is one of the most beautiful and moving songs I have heard in the Indo-Pakistani musical environment. Abi Sampa is extraordinary and the dancer expresses a desire for freedom that could be that of the current condition of Afghan women. This song should be dedicated to them.

[@fazfarooq5799]

Thank you for retaining the true spiritual meaning of Hazrat Khurows' composition. Many in today's time, especially in India, try to strip Hazrat Khusrows compositions of their spiritual meaning and make it out to be a ballad for lovers.
