A sister she lies waiting for you, <br />Dear brother, <br />A small lovely sister of yours, <br />You forget it not brother <br />Under the stress and strain of life <br />And its situations. <br /> <br />O brother, a sister keeps waiting at home, <br />When will you turn up, <br />When will you reach home, <br />A lovely and younger sister <br />Expecting for your return <br />With a band of rakhi to tie <br /> <br />And the candle light to round about, <br />A red paste to impress on the forehead <br />And the sweetmeat to put into the mouth, <br />My brother, you forget it not your lovely sister <br />And the bond of relationship, <br />The bond of sympathy, affection and attachment.<br /><br />Bijay Kant Dubey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sister-lies-she-waiting-with-a-rakhi/
