Legendary Indian music composer Mohammed Zahur Khayyam Hashmi, popularly known as Khayyam, breathed his last on Monday after suffering from a lung ailment. He was 92.
Khayyam, who started his musical career at the age of 17, in his career spanning over four decades, gave Hindi cinema some of its most memorable movie soundtracks.
His notable works include films such as Kabhi Kabhie, Umrao Jaan, Trishul, Noorie, and Shola Aur Shabnam. He had also composed music for actress Meena Kumari's album I Write, I Recite. His non-film songs such as Paaon Padun Tore Shyam, Ghazab Kiya Tere Vaade Pe Aitbaar Kiya, and Brij Mein Laut Chalo are still famous among his fans.
