The Muslim Rababis used to perform kirtan in Harmandar Sahib till the formation of the SGPC in 1925. Ghulam Mohammad Chaand (from the family of Bhai Mardana) during his recent visit to Amritsar was disheartened to know that he could not perform kirtan in the sanctum sanctorum of Harmandar Sahib like his forefathers did. His paternal uncle, Bhai Chaand, was the “Hazoori Raagi” of the Golden Temple before Partition.

Rababi Bhai Ghulam Mohammad Chand - Har Ka Bilovana Bilovoh Mere Bhai ll

Bhai Ghulam Mohammed Chand Rababi  trace their lineage to Baba Mardana, through whom Guru Nanak spoke, and to the strains of whose rabab he sang his hymns. The Baba’s descendants remained rababis to all the 10 gurus, keeping alive the rabab tradition, saving the musical instrument from extinction. His uncle Bhai Chand sang to it in Darbar Sahib in Amritsar.

Mohan Ghar Aavo Karo Jodariyaa by Bhai Ghulam Mohammed Chand Rababi

“Too Bright for Nights Like Mine” is a soulful, poetic ballad that explores the tension between darkness and light, chaos and clarity. The narrator embraces the raw edges of a nocturnal, storm-like existence—whiskey, shadow, and unrest—while admiring a lover whose world is built on purity, brightness, and steady grace. The song is steeped in imagery of night cloaks versus sun crowns, storms against hymns, and the impossibility of two worlds fully uniting. Musically, the piece rises from quiet acoustic beginnings into gospel-tinged climaxes, enriched by seven instrumental passages that breathe, swell, and fade like tides of emotion. At its heart, the song is a bittersweet confession: love and admiration remain, yet the difference between their lives is too vast. It is both an ode to what could have been and an acceptance of irreconcilable truths.

🎵 Lyrics – Too Bright for Nights Like Mine

[Instrumental Intro – soft fingerpicked acoustic guitar, subtle organ swell, distant reverb like a church hall]

[Verse 1]
It’s half-past midnight before I’m breathing,
Your dawn-lit smile already chasing day.
You speak like psalms the morning keeps repeating,
While I burn slow where the shadows stay.

[Pre-Chorus]
I sip the amber fire instead of grace,
You bloom like sunlight in a sacred place.

[Chorus]
But you’re too bright for these hollowed confines,
Too pure for the corners where my wild heart hides.
I crave the bitter ash in whiskey lines,
Your sweetness, darling… too bright for nights like mine.

[Instrumental Break 1 – bluesy electric guitar riff with warm bass, brushed drums building slowly]

[Verse 2]
You measure life in sunrise and quiet design,
I taste it in the hush where the lamplight dies.
Your days are hymns sung clean and refined,
My nights are storms that tear through the skies.

[Pre-Chorus]
I chase the echo of streets that never sleep,
You chase the mercy that the daylight keeps.

[Chorus]
‘Cause you shine too softly for my storm-tossed bones,
Too golden for the stains carved deep in my skin.
I’ve learned my truth where the broken song moans,
Your sweetness, love… too clean for the dark I live in.

[Instrumental Break 2 – gospel organ chords with choral humming, heartbeat-like drums underneath]

[Extended Verse – before Bridge]
I wear the night like a cloak that clings to me,
You wear the sun like a crown of clarity.
Your steps are steady where my shadows break,
You heal with light what my hunger takes.

[Instrumental Build-Up 3 – rising layers of percussion, cello swells, electric guitar feedback growing into storm]

[Bridge]
If you could steep your light in midnight’s balm,
If you could taste the grime and find your calm,
Maybe this chaos would yield to something more,
But I fear your dawn won’t walk through my door.

[Extended Verse – after Bridge]
And though I reach for you with trembling hands,
The gulf between us is wider than the lands.
Your voice a hymn, mine a restless flame,
Two worlds apart though we share a name.

[Instrumental Break 4 – stripped back acoustic guitar with subtle piano notes, hushed atmosphere]

[Final Chorus – full gospel choir joining, electric guitar soaring, organ and drums in a slow crescendo]
You’re too whole for my fractured lines,
Too bright for the bruises time left behind.
I’ll raise my glass to stars I call my own,
Your sweetness, love… too sweet for me, I’ve known.

[Instrumental Outro 5 – choir holding long sustained notes, fading organ]
[Instrumental Outro 6 – bluesy electric guitar echoing alone, like a lament]
[Instrumental Outro 7 – single piano chord fading into silence]
