नैनो की नैया

'Naino Ki Naiya' is one of the ten songs of the 1943 film Sawaal, lyrics by Wali Sahab and music by Pannalal Ghosh. Its opening line — about a boat of the eyes crossing the Yamuna — uses the classic North Indian river-crossing romance imagery. The per-song singer is not separately documented on the standard catalogues; the film's credited female voices were Amirbai Karnataki and Parul Ghosh.

Pannalal Ghosh builds the melody on the gentle, swaying motion implied by the river-crossing lyric, a register well suited to his flautist's instinct for long melodic arcs. The composition belongs to the soundtrack's reflective, romantic strand rather than its livelier numbers.
