Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki.....

 

Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki- Mohammad Rafi- Film Dulai 1949-Lyricist Shakeel Badayuni- Music Naushad.

Some songs need to listen in quiet and calm ambience, to experience their unforgettable magic. Rafi had one solo in film Dulari, which was released in 1949. Of all the songs in the film, this one stands apart in all respects, be it lyrics, the rendering, or the composition of music. This is one of the timeless classic of Rafi.

Here, the love lorn hero aimlessly paces around with his mandolin and expresses pangs of separation from his beloved one. The bright gaiety of the day is gone, the night has arrived. Even the stars had gone to deep slumber.Every thing quiet and calm. O my beloved...when will you come ?

Rafi's mellow voice, fully laden with despair of the beautiful, tranquil night being wasted, because of her absence, effectively conveys the melancholic mood of the song. Lyrics of Shakeel and music by Naushad makes this song immortal. Even composer C.Ramchandra was deeply in love of this melody.

सुहानी रात ढल चुकी
ना जाने तुम कब आओगे
जहाँ की रुत बदल चुकी ऽ ऽ ऽ
ना जाने तुम कब आओगे

नज़ारे ऽ ऽ ऽ अपनी मस्तियां
दिखा दिखा के सो गये
सितारे ऽ ऽ ऽ अपनी रौशनी
लुटा लुटा के सो गये
हर एक शम्मा जल चुकी
ना जाने तुम कब आओगे
सुहानी रात ढल चुकी ...

तड़प रहे हैं हम यहाँ
तुम्हारे इंतज़ार में
खिज़ा का रंग, आ चला है
मौसम\-ए\-बहार में
मौसम\-ए\-बहार में
हवा भी रुख बदल चुकी ऽ ऽ ऽ
ना जाने तुम कब आओगे

सुहानी रात ढल चुकी
ना जाने तुम कब आओगे
