Behna O behna

Behna O behna teree ḍolee me sajaaunga
Teree jaayegee baraat hogee ààkho se barsaat
Hàs Hànke mai dukhaṛa bidaayee kaa chhupaunga

Meree guṛiyaa jaisee behnaa
too to hai is ghar kaa gehnaa
Jaa ke too sasuraal me apnee
Sitaa jaisee ban ke rehnaa

Jeewan me too sab khushee paane 
sadaa sukhee sasuraal me rehnaa
Sukh ke us jeewan me hamko
bhool naa jaanaa pyaaaree behnaa

Dear sister, when you get married, I will personally decorate your Seat. And when you leave with your husband and his Baraat, my eyes will be filled with tears but I will still smile so as to hide my pain of being separated from you.

You are my doll, dear sister; a special precious decoration of our home. Be like Sita Maa and endure any difficulties as you commence your life with your new family.

Please enjoy every moment of your new life and new family but always remember us in your new life.

Mukesh; Movie: Adalat 1976
