rakhi le lo ji le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo
are hindi film ke kaaj
jaisa lata julf rumaal
jaisa gya aur guljaar
karte hai rakhi se payar

rakhi le lo ji le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo
hindi chodo soch medaan
rakhi le lo hawaldaar
behne kregi tumse payar
jldi banoge thanedaar

rakhi le lo ji le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo
ha le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo
rakhi le lo ji le lo

Oh, take the Rakhi, take, oh, take,
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!

Like film's threads, woven tight,
As Lata's hair, a silken light,
Like Gulzar's words, and songs that soar,
They cherish Rakhis evermore.

Oh, take the Rakhi, take, oh, take,
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!
Leave Hindi's thoughts, the fields expand,
Take Rakhi, oh, you brave commando!
Your sisters' love, a guiding hand,
Soon, inspector, in command!

The Rakhi, take, oh, take,
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!
Yes, take!
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!
The Rakhi, take, oh, take!
