main har janam teri bahna banu
tu har janam mera bhaiya bane
main har janam teri bahna banu
tu har janam mera bhaiya bane
ek janam kya saato janam
tera hi saaya sar pe rahe
main har janam tera bhaiya banu
tu har janam meri bahna bane

rishte naate bahut hai jag me
koi na rishta aisa
bhai bahan ka pyar hai pawan
gangajal ke jaisa
main us ghar ki karu hifazat
tu jis ghar ka gahna bane
main har janam teri bahna banu
tu har janam mera bhaiya bane

desh rahe pardes rahe
badlenge na irade
rakhi ke dhago me chhupe hai
pyar bhare kuch vaade
buri najar koi chhu na paye
tu mera laaj rakhiya bane
main har janam tera bhaiya banu
tu har janam meri bahna bane
ek janam kya saato janam
tera hi saaya sar pe rahe
main har janam teri bahna banu
tu har janam mera bhaiya bane
ho ho ho ho

Each life, sister, I shall be,
And brother, you, eternally.
Each life, sister, I shall be,
And brother, you, eternally.
Not just one, but seven lives,
Your shadow shall on me reside.
Each life, brother, I shall be,
And sister, you, eternally.

Bonds abound in this wide world,
Yet none as true, as deep unfurled.
Brother, sister, love so pure,
Like Ganga's waters, to endure.
I'll guard that home with loving hand,
Where you, the jewel, take your stand.
Each life, sister, I shall be,
And brother, you, eternally.

Here or there, across the land,
Our vows unwavering, we stand.
In threads of Rakhi, secrets kept,
Promises of love, softly swept.
May no evil eye draw near,
My honor, you, shall hold so dear.
Each life, brother, I shall be,
And sister, you, eternally.
Not just one, but seven lives,
Your shadow shall on me reside.
Each life, sister, I shall be,
And brother, you, eternally.
Ho ho ho ho.
