kachhe dhage mein behano ka pyar hai
kachhe dhage mein behano ka pyar hai
dekho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
dekho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ho ho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ho ho solah sigar ki rakhi hai
leti huyi angdayi
ho ho solah sigar ki rakhi hai
leti huyi angdayi
ganga mayiya pe chunri chdhaugi
jug jug jiye mora bhayi
ho rama jug jug jiye mora bhayi
bhayiya pe apni mai wari wari jaau
yahi behano ki dil ki pukar hai
yahi behano ki dil ki pukar hai
dekho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ha ha rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ho ho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai

aaj rakhi ke din aaj rakhi ke din
gam hai duna behan bin ghar ka aagan hai suna
bikhra bikhra hrek dil ka char hai
ujdi ujdi si dil ki bahar hai
ujdi ujdi si dil ki bahar hai
dekho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ha ha rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ho ho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai

ho ho aaj ki din bhi aaj ki din bhi
bhyiya se dur hai kitni bebas hun main majbur hun
kitni bebas hun main majbur hun
meri aankho mein asuwan ki dhar hai
mout par bhi nahi akhtiyar hai
mout par bhi nahi akhtiyar hai
dekho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ha ha rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai
ho ho rakhi ka aaya tyohar hai

A raw thread holds sister's love,
A raw thread holds sister's love,
Behold, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Behold, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Ho ho, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Ho ho, Rakhi adorned with sixteen graces,
Stretching in a tender yawn,
Ho ho, Rakhi adorned with sixteen graces,
Stretching in a tender yawn,
I will offer a scarf to Mother Ganga,
May my brother live for ages,
Hoi Rama, may my brother live for ages,
On my brother, I bestow my all,
This is the heart's cry of sisters,
This is the heart's cry of sisters,
Behold, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Yes, yes, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Ho ho, the festival of Rakhi arrives.

Today, on the day of Rakhi, today, on the day of Rakhi,
Grief is doubled without a sister, the courtyard of the house is desolate,
Scattered, scattered is every heart's hue,
Desolate, desolate, is the heart's spring,
Desolate, desolate, is the heart's spring,
Behold, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Yes, yes, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Ho ho, the festival of Rakhi arrives.

Ho ho, even today, even today,
I am far from my brother, how helpless, I am compelled,
How helpless, I am compelled,
In my eyes, a stream of tears flows,
Even over death, there is no command,
Even over death, there is no command,
Behold, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Yes, yes, the festival of Rakhi arrives,
Ho ho, the festival of Rakhi arrives.
