bandha huwa ik ik dhage mein bhayee bahan kaa pyar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar
bandha huwa ik ik dhage mein bhayee bahan kaa pyar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar

kitna komal kitna sundar bhai behan kaa nata
iss nate ko yad dilane yeh tyauhar hain aata
behan ke mann kee aashaye rakhee ke yeh tar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar

behan kahe mere veer tujhe naa buri najariya lage
mere raja bhaiyya tujhko meree umariya lage
dhan hun paraya phir bhee milungi sal me toh ik bar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar

bhai kahe o behan main teree laj kaa hun rakhwala
gundunga main pyar se tere armaano kee mala
bhai bahan kaa pyar rahega jab tak hain sansar
rakhee dhago kaa tyauhar

In every thread, a love entwined,
Brother, sister, hearts combined,
Rakhi's threads, a festival's grace,
Rakhi's threads, in time and space,
In every thread, a love defined,
Rakhi's threads, hearts intertwined.

So tender, fragile, bond so deep,
Brother, sister, secrets keep,
This bond remembered, year by year,
This festival, holding near,
Sister's hopes, a silken plea,
Rakhi's threads, for you and me.

Sister whispers, "May no evil glance,
Touch my hero, in life's expanse,
My kingly brother, may my years,
Be yours to ward off all fears,
Though fate may scatter, come what may,
I'll meet you once, come what day."
Rakhi's threads, for you and me.

Brother answers, "Sister dear,
Your honor's keeper, ever near,
I'll weave a garland, made of love,
Of your desires, sent from above,
Brother, sister, love will stay,
Until the world dissolves away,"
Rakhi's threads, for you and me.
