Toch chandrama nabhaat - Marathi Geet by Raghu Kedar
Toch chandrama nabhaat - Ma... Lyrics & Chords
My tribute to Babuji……
Today is the 92nd birth anniversary of the late Sudhir Phadke, fondly known as Babuji in the world of music. Needless to mention that he is an iconic figure in Marathi music, having composed and sung in his magic voice for scores of Marathi movies and albums.
Babuji scaled dizzy heights with his masterly narration and singing of G.D.Madgulkar’s Geet Ramayan, which has a staggering 56 compositions, each of them a masterpiece.
Very few may be knowing that Babuji has also rendered the music for many a Hindi film (Bhabhi ki chudiyan – 1961, being one. Who can ever forget, ‘Jyoti kalash chhalake, by Lataji?) The extremely popular Kishoreda number, ‘Aaj pehli tareekh hai’ too was Babuji’s composition.
Today, I am posting a very popular geet (Sugam Sangeet) composed and sung by the master himself. The lyrics are by Shanta Shelke.
For those interested, here’s a translation of the poetry.
•तोच चंदर्मा नभात, तीच चैत्र यामिनी
(you are the same moon in the sky, you are the same night of Spring)
एकांती मज समीप, तीच तूही कामिनी
(you are close to me in solitude, you are, my beautiful)
•नीरवता ती तशीच, धूंद तेच चांदणे
(you are serene just the same, like the misty moonlight)
छायांनी रेखियले, चित्र तेच देखणे
(the shadows you form are the same as beautiful drawings)
जाईचा कुंज तोच, तीच गंधमोहीनी
(you are the same fragrance as a glade of jasmines)
एकांती मज समीप, तीच तूही कामिनी
(you are close to me in solitude, you are, my beautiful)
•सारे जरी ते तसेच, धुंदी आज ती कुठे
(everything is same, but where are those heady days?)
मी ही तोच, तीच तूही, प्रीती आज ती कुठे
(you are same, I’m same, but where is that love?)
ती न असता उरात, स्वन ते न लोचनी
(there’s no longing in the heart, nor dreams in the eyes)
एकांती मज समीप, तीच तूही कामिनी
(you are close to me in solitude, you are, my beautiful)
•त्या पहिल्या प्रीतीच्या, आज लोपल्या खुणा
(where have the signs of our earlier love disappeared?)
वाळल्या फुलात व्यर्थ, गंध शोधतो पुन्हा
(I am searching in vain for scent in the dried flowers)
गीत ये न ते जुळून, भंगल्या सुरातुनी
(the same song may not come again, now with these broken notes)
एकांती मज समीप, तीच तूही कामिनी
(you are close to me in solitude, you are, my beautiful)

Raghu ji, What a dedication to Babuji on his Birth Anniversary ! Trully, a Great Performance. Felt like live. The translation is also very appropriate to convey the emmotions of the words by Shanta Shelke. Liked it very much. Awaiting many more Marathi Bhavgeets. Check my ‘Kevha Tari Pahate’ uploaded yesterday.

Wah Raghu bhai…. You brought me back to my childhood days in Mumbai…. I was raised with several maharastrian neighbors and early mornings used to be filled with radios blarring with such sweet sugam sangeet. Sudhir Phadke is indeed a BIG name and you have rendered this beautie with great finesse. Of course you have been a tremendous contributor on this forum. Hat’s off….L+F
