lahu ka rang ek hai, amir kya garib kya
bane ho ek ...
vo hi jaan vo hi tan, kahaan talaq chhupaaoge -(2)
pehan ke reshami libaaz, tum badal na jaaoge
ke ek jaat hain sabhi -(2)
to baat hai ajeeb si
lahu ka rang ek hai ...
gareeb hai vo iss liye, tum amir ho gaye -(2)
ke ek baadshaah hua, to sau fakeer ho gaye
khata yaha hai samaaj ki -(2)
bhala bura naseeb kya
lahu ka rang ek hai ...
jo ek ho to kyon na phir, dilon ka dard baant lo -(2)
lahu ki pyaas baant lo, ruko ki dard baant lo
laga lo saba ko tum gale (2)
habeeb kya, raqeeb kya
lahu ka rang ek hai ...
