Only Sunidhi’s version was included

The subject of this post was a song I regretted not including in my collection earlier.

The track in question was the female version of Ae Watan, which was rendered by the one and only Sunidhi Chauhan*.

It happened to be the shortest song in the film – it was three minutes and 31 seconds long.

Gulzar wrote the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composition, which contained Allama Iqbal’s Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua, which is Pakistan’s national prayer, and is offered during school assemblies.

(*Note: The male version, rendered by Arijit Singh, was three minutes and 43 seconds long.)
