जागी रात को नींद सुहानी सुहानी is a completely different sentence. Here the sleep is pleasant, and the night is awake. Repetition of सुहानी is just for the rhyme.
Awake night can mean anything: a refulgent night, a night full of activity, and so on. There can be hundreds of interpretations of "awake" night. For example, Stars keep awake and marching during the night, while we are asleep. Also while there is night in one part of the globe, there is day in another part, morning in another, noon in yet another part, and so forth.

With the context now clear, thanks to Lalit Sati Ji, the sentence can be translated as,
"The sweet sleep ended/ fleeted [abruptly] in the dead of night.", or
"The sweet sleep ended/ fleeted [abruptly] during the night."

In Hindi the sentence जागी रात को नींद सुहानी सुहानी can be re-written as

Asker: Many thanks
Now, this is interesting. Would I be right in thinking that if this were prose and not poetry or song lyrics, the same idea would be expressed as
सुहानी रात जागती है for example?
