Lyrics
Bane ho ek khaak se, to door kya kareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se, to door kya kareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se, to door kya kareeb kya
Lahu ka rang ek hai, ameer kya ghareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se
Wahi hai jaan wahi hai tan, kahaan talak chhupaoge
Wahi hai jaan wahi hai tan, kahaan talak chhupaoge
Pehen ke reshmi libaas, tum badal na jaaoge
Ke ek zaat hain sabhi
Ke ek zaat hain sabhi, to baat hai ajeeb kya
Lahu ka rang ek hai, ameer kya ghareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se
Ghareeb hai woh isliye, ke tum ameer ho gaye
Ke ek badshah hua, to sau fakeer ho gaye
Ghareeb hai woh isliye, ke tum ameer ho gaye
Ke ek badshah hua, to sau fakeer ho gaye
Khata yeh hai samaj ki
Khata yeh hai samaj ki, bhala bura naseeb kya
Lahun ka rang ek hai, ameer kya ghareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se
Jo ek ho ho to kyun na phir dilon ka dard baant lo
Jo ek ho ho to kyun na phir dilon ka dard baant lo
Labon ki pyas baant lo, rukhon ki gard baant lo
Laga lo sabko tum gale
Laga lo sabko tum gale, habeeb kya raqeeb kya
Lahun ka rang ek hai, ameer kya ghareeb kya
Bane ho ek khaak se

Artist Biography
Lata Mangeshkar, Bollywood's most popular playback singer, has been singing for over 50 years. She has lent her voice to actresses ranging from Nargis to Preity Zinta.
Lata began her singing lessons at the tender age of five, under renowned singers Ustad Aman Ali Khan Sahib and Ustad Amanat Khan. She made her debut as a playback singer in the Marathi film Kiti Hasaal (1942), but the song was edited out later.
It was with composer Ghulam Haider that her voice first resonated on the silver screen in the film Majboor (1948). In 1949, four of her films - Mahal, Dulari, Barsaat and Andaz - were released and Lata became a name to reckon with.
Though Lata sang for most of the popular music directors, it was with composers C Ramchandra and Madan Mohan that her voice scaled new heights. The 1960s and 1970s saw Lata at the height of her popularity, even as controversy plagued her with accusations of monopolizing the playback-singing industry. In 1980s, however, she cut down her playback work to concentrate on her shows abroad.
Lata continued to render her voice to young actresses like Kajol in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Madhuri Dixit in Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), and Preity Zinta in Veer-Zaara (2004). She, still, has been singing for occasional films like Rang De Basanti (2006), Souten (2006), Jai Santoshi Maa (2006), Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli (2007) and Salaam-E-Ishq (2007).
