A silken Rakhi I shall weave,
With silver threads, my heart to cleave.

With silver threads, my heart to cleave.
In my brother's joy, I will sing,
In my brother's joy, my spirit to spring.
I'll dance and play, and revel in glee,
In my brother's joy, eternally free.
Hear, my friend, this auspicious day,
What tidings does it convey?

When this Rakhi I embrace,

My brother showers gold and grace,

Then, at every step, I'll leap and twirl,
A joyous, sunlit, vibrant world.
