A sister she lies waiting for you, br Dear brother, br A small lovely sister of yours, br You forget it not brother br Under the stress and strain of life br And its situations. br br O brother, a sister keeps waiting at home, br When will you turn up, br When will you reach home, br A lovely and younger sister br Expecting for your return br With a band of rakhi to tie br br And the candle light to round about, br A red paste to impress on the forehead br And the sweetmeat to put into the mouth, br My brother, you forget it not your lovely sister br And the bond of relationship, br The bond of sympathy, affection and attachment.
