Mahmood rendered it Ra(a)ther (Chand)nicely

The silken-voiced Mahmood was not just the king of ghazals, but was excellenT(al)at romantic numbers too. That was proved when he rendered Yeh Hawa Yeh Raat Yeh Chandni, from Sangdil (1952).

It was penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by Sajjad Hussain [who was infamous for his propensity to take pangas (unnecessary tiffs) with his peers (as a result of which he scored the music for only a handful of films in a career spanning over three decades).]

Interestingly, the short-tempered music director didn’t spare an opportunity to taunt Mahmood, calling him Galat (Wrong) Mahmood.
