Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ishq Ka Rang Safed...
ishq Ka Rang Safed hai yaar
ishq Ka Rang Safed...
Mai hi nahi, jag bole__2
kahe geeta, kahe ved.
ishq Ka Rang Safed hai yaar
ishq Ka Rang Safed...
aapna aap gawaye
Ishq Ka Rang me rang gya
Ishq Ka Rang me rang gya.
use koi rang na bhaye.
The song "Ishq Ka Rang Safed Hai Baba" by Rekha Bhardwaj is a beautiful expression of love that brings a sense of purity and simplicity to it. The lyrics essentially mean that the color of love is white, which reflects the purity and simplicity that love brings to our lives. The song starts with Rekha Bhardwaj humming the tune, which is accompanied by the use of traditional instruments such as the tabla, harmonium, and dholak.
The first verse of the song talks about how everyone in this world is talking about the color of love, but irrespective of what is being said in the religious texts like the Geeta or the Vedas, the color of love still remains white. The second verse speaks about how love can make you lose yourself in it. Once you fall in love, it becomes a part of you, and you can't imagine your life without it. The third verse talks about the fact that no matter how much one tries to color love, it will always remain pure and white.
Overall, "Ishq Ka Rang Safed Hai Baba" is a fantastic example of how love can be pure and beautiful. It is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, the most simple things in our lives, like love, can be the most meaningful and powerful.
