On Dussehra day, I have a jewel on my platter
O woman, let’s felicitate our respective husbands
We, sisters, will together celebrate our brothers’ Bhaubeej
I tell you, my sister, we shall buy brocade sarees we like
On Dussehra day, I did not felicitate my brother
We shall celebrate Bhaubeej for my brother during Diwali
A meal with five kinds of sweets and fried slices of bitter gourd –
A brother breaks his Monday fast at his sister’s house
A delicious meal – I insist he eat it, but he refuses
How can I hold his hand to stop him? He is not my brother but my brother-in-law
Five kinds of sweets are made with jaggery for the festive meal
Brother, have this special Bhaubeej meal
A guest has come to my house; the woman next door asks who he is
My brother for whom mother had made a vow, I give him sweet semolina
A guest has come to your house? The woman asks me in the courtyard
The woman asks me while dipping a jug in an earthenware pot [of water]
A guest has come to my house, the woman next door says, what will you do
I shall get anarasa [a special Diwali sweet made with rice flour] for my brother
A guest came to my house in the evening, but he is not a burden
My brother has come, he is very dear to me
A sister and brother have deep affection for each other
Like a green custard apple with sugary flesh inside
A packet of sugar is surrounded by ants
My brother loves me dearly but my sister-in-law broke our relation
A brother and a sister are like oranges from the same tree
A sister-in-law comes from another family, she caused a rift between them
