Sometime ago I was fortunate to attend a Beauty Pagent, and as the contestants

were showcasing their beaut, Instrumental of Sohani Raat was enchanting all in

the bachground, felt proud.

Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has decended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has decended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Jahan ki rut badal chuki
The world’s the climate have changed
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come

Nazaarein apni mastiyaan dikha dikhaake so gaye
The sights have shown their effects and are now gone
Sitaarein apni roshni luta lutaake so gaye
The stars have brilliantly shone and are now no more
Har ek shamma jal chuki
Every lamp that lit has burnt out
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
When are you going to come

Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has decended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come

Tadap rahe hai hum yahan
I am suffering here
Tadap rahe hai hum yahan tumhaare intezaar mein
I am suffering whilst waiting on you
Tumhaare intezaar mein
Waiting on you
Tumhaare intezaar mein
Waiting on you
Fiza ka rang aa chala hai
the colorful springtime is almost here
Mausam-e-bahaar mein
in the beautiful season
Mausam-e-bahaar mein
in the beautiful season
Hawa bhi rukh badal chuki
The winds have also changed directions
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come

Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has decended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come

Composer Naushad was then riding high on crest of popularity and he came up with a touch of genius when he conceived this melodious tune for Shakeel Badayuni’s memorable lyrics. But it required another genius by the name- Mohammed Rafi to make it immortal with his singing. It was Rafi’s overpowering intensity of expression that turned this lovelorn song into a classic.
