Career
editHe made Asha Bhonsle sing songs which are indisputably her best. "In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke", "Ye Kya Jagah Hai Doston" and "Dil Cheez Kya Hai" are evergreen.[citation needed]
Subsequently Khayyam composed music for Thodisi Bewafai, Dard (both 1981) and Dil-E-Nadaan (1982), all of them starring Khanna in the lead. The songs from these films continue to be popular across generations.[citation needed]
Khayyam created music for the Kamal Amrohi directed film Razia Sultan (1983) and his song "Aye Dil-e-Nadan" sung by Lata is considered as a milestone.[citation needed]-->
He also composed non-film songs. Some of them include "Paaon Padun Tore Shyam, Brij Mein Laut Chalo" and "Ghazab Kiya Tere Vaade Pe Aitbaar Kiya".[1] He also gave music for Meena Kumari's album, I Write, I Recite (1971) featuring the "nazms" written and sung by her.[2]
Khayyam always preferred to work with the poets having strong background of poetry sidelining the regular film lyricists.[citation needed] That is the reason one finds poetry playing an equal role in Khayyam's compositions as the music or the singer.[citation needed] Khayyam prefers to give full freedom to the poets for expressing their views thereby making the expression of songs more poetic and meaningful.[citation needed]
He has worked with both his contemporaries and the legends in the field of poetry.[citation needed] That's the reason one finds in his account the work profiled by Mirza Ghalib, Daagh, Wali Mohammed Wali, Ali Sardar Jafri, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Sahir Ludhianvi, and among the new ones Naqsh Lyallpuri, Nida Fazli, Jan Nisar Akhtar & Ahmed Wasi to name a few.[citation needed]
