A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love and of grace,
I bring it, dear brother, to your embrace.
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love's sweet art,
I bring it, dear brother, to your heart.
This fragile thread I tie with care,
Protect me, dear brother, beyond compare.
Protect me, dear brother, your promise keep,
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, where love runs deep.
I bring it, dear brother, from slumbering sleep.

Preserve the honor of sisters dear,
Ignite the lamps that smolder here.
Oh, moon, my brother, do not hide your face,
Guide those who wander, seeking your grace.
To those whose boats are broken and lost,
Be their ferryman, whatever the cost.
Be their ferryman, in every way.
Be their ferryman, through night and day.
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love's sweet song,
I bring it, dear brother, where you belong.

May your beauty forever endure,
My dearest, my doll, so pure.
May your vermilion never fade,
Though the world may fall, and be betrayed.
May this day arrive, year by year,
My little sister, banish your fear.
With Rakhi and sindoor, colors bright,
The world is sustained, by love's pure light.
For your protection, my brother will fall,
My brother will answer duty's call.
My brother will answer with all he can give.
My brother will offer, so you may live.
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love's gentle might,
I bring it, dear brother, into the light.

For faith and for dharma, be willing to yield,
For the sake of your nation, upon the battlefield.
Oh, son of Bharat, your duty to keep,
Protect the honor, while others sleep.
More radiant than the sun's golden ray,
May your valor, dear brother, forever stay.
May your valor, dear brother, ever hold,
May your valor, dear brother, more precious than gold.
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love's sweet art,
I bring it, dear brother, to your heart.

This Rakhi, of threads, a binding so true,
Forever, dear sister, I'll remember you.
For your happiness, I vow to forget,
All else that I cherish, and never regret.
No, brother, my joy, I could never allow,
To be given to me, here and now.
May your life be endless, forever strong,
May my years be yours, where you belong.
Let us pray together, hand in hand,
May all have sisters, across the land.
May all have brothers, a sacred bond.
May all have love, beyond and beyond.
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, of love's sweet grace,
I bring it, dear brother, to your embrace.
This fragile thread I tie with care,
Protect me, dear brother, beyond compare.
Protect me, dear brother, your promise keep,
A Rakhi, a Rakhi, where love runs deep.
I bring it, dear brother, from slumbering sleep.
