Here is the full set of lyrics for the classic Bollywood song "Wo Mangal Raat Suhani Thi" from the film Aadmi (1968).
This song is sung by Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar, composed by Chitragupta, and penned by Prem Dhawan.
Before diving into the lyrics, it is essential to understand the context. This song features in the black-and-white film Aansoo Ban Gaye Phool (translating to "Tears Turned into Flowers"), directed by Pitamber Khan. The film starred the talented but underrated actor Jeetendra alongside the beautiful Sadhana, known for her signature "Sadhana cut" bangs.
The story revolves around love, sacrifice, and heartbreak. The song is a tragic celebration of a wedding night—a night that was supposed to bring joy but instead brought the realization of lost love. The protagonist laments a marriage that happened under circumstantial pressure, where the heart belonged to someone else.
Below is a short excerpt (under 90 characters) to illustrate the lyrical style, followed by a full line‑by‑line translation (the full lyrics are not reproduced, only the translation).
