Aayi aayi raat suhaani
Posted on: September 18, 2010
Here is a delightful song that has two versions. In the first version, Kamini Kaushal, who finds a young girl, who is separated from her mother, and she calms her nerves by singing this song which acts as a lullaby to the girl.
Then , in the second part, this song is sung again by Kamini Kaushal with slightly altered words.
The first part of the song can also be called ahappy song. The second part too is a happy song to begin with, but unknowing to Kamini Kaushal, tragedy is just round the corner.
This song is sung by Lata.Hasrat Jaipuri is the lyricist and Shankar Jaikishan composed the music.
This song is from “Poonam” (1952). It is quite a gem, and I feel that the movie makers, who those days thought nothing of toruring the movie watchers with tragic ends, could well have spared audiences the second part of the song.
