By tying a piece of colored auspicious thread on the wrist of her brother, the sister is wishing for his well being, good health and prosperity, and in return the brother is making a promise to protect her and her honor.

I thought that I had already discussed this song from “Shamaa” (1961) but it turns out that I was wrong. I was confusing this song with another song from this movie.
