Surmaa is the kohl that is used for putting in the eyes, as in, on the corner of eyes. Surmayi comes from that, and means black, or dark grey, and in a sense, looking beautiful like kohl-lined eyes.
Raat is night, and hence, Surmayi raat would mean a beautiful, dark night.
Surmayi Raat is an album by Bhupinder featuring Gulzar's poems.
