After the sister ties sacred thread (Rakhi) on her brother's wrist, he reciprocates the love shown to him by bestowing gifts and money upon her. In return, she offers him sweet treats.

Here's to my brother 
Remember every day No matter what I've said
Here's what I'd like to say I will always love you 
Be with you till the end When no one else is around
