The Thread of Trust
the day is nearly here
to celebrate siblings' immortal love
luck it is sheer
to attain a relation so pure
Rakhi signifies care and affection
the sacred tassel with a tinge of gold.
'Tis the trust bestowed upon the brother
to protect his sister
Teasing her protector is her playfullness, as reciprocated by her brother
Full of bickering is this unique bond
yet never is absorbed a hint of hatred.
Despite the continuous quarrels
they unite with utmost affection
the sister decorates his forehead
with kumkum and pious rice grains
and thus the bond is forged
