दिदि-बहिनी

दिदि-बहिनी

खाए खा नखाए घिच,

जहिलेपनि झगडा र किच-किच /

नाच्न नजान्ने आँगन टेड़ो ,
जसको गल्ति भए नि आफुनै सोझो /


गुन्द्रुक पकाउनु पर्दैन , मलाई फकाउनु पर्दैन,
मेरो दिमाग खराब गरेर मस्का लाउनु  पर्दैन /

नाखाउ भने दिन भरिको शिकार, नाखऊँ  भने साइला बाउको अनुहार,

घुर्की देखाउने चै जहिले नि तम्तयार /

लाह्सामा सुन छ कान मेरो बुज्झै ,

मलाई  जे मन पर्ने तलाई चाहिने त्यही किन खै /

लोभीको भाँडो कुभिन्डो , फर्सी होइन उभिण्डो

मेरो क्रोधमा तेल नथप नत्र पाउलास तालुमा टुटुल्को/

भए पनि नहूने , नभए नि नहुने ,

दिदि-बहिनि भन्ने कुरा जति रिस उठे पनि छुट्टीन नसकिने /

जस्तालाई त्यस्तै , ढिंडॉलाई नेस्तै ,

हे भगवान् यो दिदि-बहिनि भन्ने कुरा किन जहिले नि येस्तै //

You can neither live with nor leave,

Though you are mad at it, sisterhood is what you cannot quit.

Tit for tat, 

Hey Lord why sisterhood is suppose to be like that.

Still life is incomplete without sisters. They are not only your friends, they are the kind of people who will take your absurd behaviours, defend you, love and care about you and not even show it to you.

Sisters by luck; enemies by nature; friends by choice.
