behna o behna o mare pyari behna
tujhko pahnao chand taro ka ghana
behna o behna o mare pyari behna
tujhko pahnao chand taro ka ghana
behna o behna o mare pyari behna

bhaiya o bhaiya kuaari teri behna
tera pyar mangu na mangu koi gehna
bhaiya o bhaiya kuaari teri behna
tera pyar mangu na mangu koi gehna
bhaiya o bhaiya mere pyare bhaiya

tika wo duga mathe pe jo suraj sa chamke
suraj sa chamke
chanda ke aale jaisi bali teri damke
dakhenge duniya wale hokar hairan se
sadi rachaunga mai teri is shan se
angna me tere ho sukh ke dere
dukh chahe mujko pade jitna sahna
bhaiya o bhaiya kuaari teri behna
tera pyar mangu na mangu koi gahna
behna o behna o meri pyari behna

jisko mila ho aisa raja sa bhai
usne to dolat jaise duniya ki pai
bhaiya ka hath jab behna ke sir ho
bhaiya ka hath jab behna ke sir ho
behna ko fir kyu zamane ka dar ho
tu mera biran hai mera jivan
tujko kasam hai yu hi haste rahna
behna o behna o meri pyari behna
tujhko pahnau chand taro ka gahna
bhaiya o bhaiya kuaari teri behna
tera pyar mangu na mangu koi gehna
behna o behna o meri pyari behna
bhaiya o bhaiya kuaari teri behna
o meri pyari behna o mere pyare bhaiya

Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister,
I'll adorn you with the jewels of moon and stars,
Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister,
I'll adorn you with the jewels of moon and stars,
Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister.

Brother, oh brother, your sister, untouched,
I seek your love, no trinkets I crave,
Brother, oh brother, your sister, untouched,
I seek your love, no trinkets I crave,
Brother, oh brother, my beloved brother.

A mark I'll place, on your brow, sun-bright,
Sun-bright,
Earrings like the moon, your beauty alight,
The world will watch, in wonder and awe,
I'll wed you thus, with such regal law,
In your courtyard, may joy reside,
Though sorrow be mine, I'll bear it all,
Brother, oh brother, your sister, untouched,
I seek your love, no trinkets I crave,
Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister.

She who has a brother, a king to her heart,
Has won the world, a wealth apart,
When a brother's hand, rests on a sister's head,
When a brother's hand, rests on a sister's head,
Why should she fear, the world's dread?
You are my life, my very breath,
By this, I swear, may you always laugh,
Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister,
I'll adorn you with the jewels of moon and stars,
Brother, oh brother, your sister, untouched,
I seek your love, no trinkets I crave,
Sister, oh sister, my dearest sister,
Brother, oh brother, my beloved brother,
Oh my dearest sister, oh my beloved brother.
