According to a report in ANI, “The musician, a recipient of Sangeet Natak

lungs, as was informed by BN Tiwari, president of the Federation of Western
India Cine Employees Union. Mohammed Zahur 'Khayyam' Hashmi, better known as
Khayyam, began his career in music from the city of Ludhiana at the tender age
of 17. He got his first big break in blockbuster 'Umrao Jaan' through which he
made his permanent place in Bollywood industry.
The ANI report further added, “He won National Award, and
also a Filmfare Award, besides a few other tributes for composing music for the
flick which stars Rekha, Raj Babbar, and Naseeruddin Shah.
Khayyam's non-film songs are equally loved by his fans, especially 'Paaon padun tore shyam,' 'Brij mein laut chalo' and 'Ghazab kiya tere vaade pe aitbaar kiya'. He also gave music for late Meena Kumari's album, 'I Write, I Recite' featuring 'nazms' (poems) sung by her.”
