==Early life==
Khayyam was born to a [[Punjabi Muslim]] family<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1500734/music-legend-khayyam-dies-at-92|title=Music legend Khayyam dies at 92|first=Jawed|last=Naqvi|work=Dawn|date=21 August 2019|access-date=2 June 2020|quote=But easily the real reason for the grudging interest in claiming his own identity was his conservative Muslim Punjabi family for whom music was taboo.}}</ref> on 18 February 1927 in [[Rahon]] in [[Punjab Province (British India)|Punjab]], British India.<ref name="JagranJosh">{{cite web|url=https://m.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/amp/legendary-music-composer-khayyam-passes-away-1566275483-1|title= Legendary Music Composer Khayyam Passes Away |author= Jagran Josh|date=20 August 2019|access-date=21 August 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Music composer Khayyam dies at 92 |url=https://scroll.in/latest/934446/music-composer-khayyam-dies-at-92 |access-date=20 August 2019 |work=Scroll.in |date=19 August 2019}}</ref> As a boy, Khayyam ran away to his uncle's house in [[New Delhi]]. There he was trained under classical vocalist and composer [[Amar Nath|Pandit Amarnath]].<ref name="TheNational">{{cite news |title=Legendary Bollywood composer Khayyam celebrates his 92nd birthday - in pictures |url=https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/music/legendary-bollywood-composer-khayyam-celebrates-his-92nd-birthday-in-pictures-1.827423 |date=19 February 2019|access-date=20 August 2019 |work=The National |language=en}}</ref>

==Career==
Khayyam went to Lahore looking for roles in films. There he met [[Ghulam Ahmed Chishti|Baba Chishti]], a famous Punjabi music director. After listening to a composition by Chishti, he sang to him its first part. Impressed, Chishti gave him an offer of joining him as an assistant. Khayyam assisted Chishti for six months and came to [[Ludhiana]] in 1943. He was only 17 then.<ref name="JagranJosh"/>

After a stint in the Army in the [[Second World War]], Khayyam went to [[Mumbai|Bombay]] to fulfil his dream<ref name="TheNational"/> and made his debut as '''Sharmaji''' of the '''Sharmaji-Varmaji''' composer duo with the film ''Heer Ranjha'' in 1948.<ref name="JagranJosh"/> He went solo after his co-composer [[Rehman Verma]] went to the newly created [[Pakistan]] post partition.<ref name="JagranJosh"/> One of his earliest breaks was in the film ''Biwi'' (1950) in which the song ''"Akele Mein Woh Ghabrate To Honge"'' sung by [[Mohammed Rafi]] was a hit. ''"Shaam-e-Gham Ki Kasam"'' sung by [[Talat Mehmood]] from the film ''[[Footpath (1953 film)|Footpath]]'' (1953) struck a chord among the masses.<ref name="PBArchives">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN3hn_E3ZcA|url-status=dead|title=AN INTERVIEW WITH SHRI KHAYYAM BY SHRI S.Y.QURAISHI|author=YouTube|website=[[YouTube]]|date=14 June 2017|access-date=22 August 2019|archive-date=1 March 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200301233924/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN3hn_E3ZcA}}</ref> He gained greater recognition from the film ''[[Phir Subha Hogi]]'' (1958) starring [[Raj Kapoor]] and [[Mala Sinha]], in which songs written by [[Sahir Ludhyanvi]] and sung by [[Mukesh (singer)|Mukesh]] and [[Asha Bhonsle]] were set to tune by Khayyam.<ref name="Phir Subha Hogi">{{cite web|url=https://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/2014/03/phir-subah-hogi.html|title= Phir Subah Hogi (1958) |author= Anuradha Warrier|date=22 March 2014|access-date=22 August 2019}}</ref> Notable amongst them are ''"Wo Subha Kabhi To Aayegi", "Aasman Pe hai Khuda Aur Zameen Pe Hum"'' and ''"Chin-o-Arab Humara"''.<ref name="Phir Subha Hogi"/>

Songs from the film ''[[Shola Aur Shabnam (1961 film)|Shola Aur Shabnam]]'' (1961) written by [[Kaifi Azmi]] established Khayyam's reputation as a composer.<ref name="JagranJosh"/> From the [[Chetan Anand (director)|Chetan Anand]] directed ''[[Aakhri Khat]]'' (1966) ''"Baharon Mera Jeevan Bhi Sawaron"'' by [[Lata Mangeshkar|Lata]] and ''"Aur Kuch Der Theher"'' by Rafi were huge hits. Other notable songs are from the film ''[[Shagoon]]'' (1964) which had Khayyam's wife [[Jagjit Kaur]] sing ''"Tum Apna Ranj-o-Gham"'' and ''"Tum Chali Jaogi"''.<ref name="Career">{{cite web|url=https://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-masters-khayyam_5.html|title=The Masters: Khayyam |author= Anuradha Warrier|date=5 February 2015|access-date=22 August 2019}}</ref>

The 1970s saw Khayyam team up with [[Sahir Ludhyanvi]] once again to work in the [[Yash Chopra]]-directed ''[[Kabhie Kabhie (1976 film)|Kabhi Kabhie]]'' (1976).<ref name="Khayyam Death" /> The songs showed Khayyam's versatility with hits such as ''"Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai"'' (Sung by [[Mukesh (singer)|Mukesh]] and [[Lata Mangeshkar|Lata]]), ''"Tere Chehre Se Nazar Nahin"'' (by [[Kishore Kumar|Kishore]] & Lata) and ''"Main Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar Hoon"'' (by Mukesh).<ref name= Quint>{{cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/amp/story/entertainment%2Fkhayyam-saab-maestro-indian-music-mohammed-zahur|title= Poetry and Melody: A Musical Journey Through Khayyam's Life |author= Quint|date=20 August 2019|access-date=21 August 2019}}</ref>

Khayyam provided music to the films of the late-1970s and early-1980s. Songs from ''[[Trishul (film)|Trishul]], [[Thodi Si Bewafaai]], [[Bazaar (1982 film)|Bazaar]], [[Dard (1981 film)|Dard]], [[Noorie]], [[Nakhuda (film)|Nakhuda]], [[Sawaal (film)|Sawaal]], Bepannah'', and ''[[Khandaan (1979 film)|Khandaan]]'' are some of his best works.<ref name="Khayyam Death" />

Khayyam was still to deliver his best, and the opportunity came in [[Muzaffar Ali]]'s ''[[Umrao Jaan (1981 film)|Umrao Jaan]]'' in 1981.<ref name= UmraoJaan>{{cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/khayyams-songs-had-more-soul-than-sound/article29221255.ece|title= Khayyam's songs had more soul than sound |author= Hindu|date=22 August 2019|access-date=22 August 2019|newspaper= The Hindu }}</ref> He had [[Asha Bhonsle]] sing the songs "In Aankhon Ki Masti Ke", "Ye Kya Jagah Hai Doston", and "Dil Cheez Kya Hai", which are evergreen.<ref name= UmraoJaan/>

[[Rajesh Khanna]] liked the songs of the film ''[[Kabhie Kabhie (1976 film)|Kabhi Kabhie]]'' so much that he gifted Khayyam one of his cars.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sabharwal |first1=Bharat |title=Captain of My Sea |date=2017 |publisher=Partridge Publishing |isbn=9781482867268 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YC-_DgAAQBAJ&q=Rajesh+Khanna+gifted+Khayyam+a+car&pg=PT138 |access-date=22 August 2019 |language=en}}</ref> Subsequently, Khayyam composed music for ''[[Thodisi Bewafai]], [[Dard (1981 film)|Dard]]'' (both 1981) and ''[[Dil-E-Nadaan]]'' (1982), all of them starring Khanna in the lead.<ref>{{cite news |title=Rajesh Khanna Complete Filmography |url=https://www.bollywoodmdb.com/celebrities/filmography/rajesh-khanna/528|work=Bollywood MDB |language=en}}</ref>

Khayyam created music for the [[Kamal Amrohi]] directed film ''[[Razia Sultan (film)|Razia Sultan]]'' (1983) and his song ''"Aye Dil-e-Nadan"'' sung by Lata is considered as a milestone.<ref>{{cite news |title=Khayyam no more, leaves behind Umrao Jaan |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/khayyam-no-more-leaves-behind-umrao-jaan-755530.html |access-date=22 August 2019 |work=Deccan Herald |date=19 August 2019 |language=en}}</ref>

[[File:Khayyam visits Rajesh Khanna's home Aashirwad 24.jpg|thumb|Khayyam in 2012]]
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"''.<ref name="Khayyam Death" /> He also gave music for [[Meena Kumari]]'s album, ''I Write, I Recite'' (1971) featuring the "nazms" written and sung by her.<ref>{{cite web|last=Chandel |first=Rajani |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/music/Lesser-known-facts-about-music-composer-Khayyam/Khayyam-has-composed-for-actress-Meena-Kumaris-poems/photostory/51058319.cms |title=Khayyam has composed for actress Meena Kumari's poems |website=Timesofindia.indiatimes.com |access-date=25 July 2016|date=19 February 2016 }}</ref>

Khayyam always preferred to work with poets rather than film lyricists.<ref name="Ode">{{cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/music/ode-to-khayyam/article29221835.ece|title=Ode to Khayyam |newspaper=Hindu|date=22 August 2019 |access-date=22 August 2019|last1=Kusnur |first1=Narendra }}</ref> That is the reason one finds [[poetry]] playing an equal role in Khayyam's compositions as the music or the singer.<ref name="Ode"/> Khayyam prefers to give full freedom to the poets for expressing their views thereby making the expression of songs more poetic and meaningful.<ref name="Ode"/>

He worked with both his contemporaries in the field of poetry.<ref name="Ode"/> 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]] and Ahmed Wasi.<ref name="Ode"/>

Khayyam's music had the touch of [[ghazal]] but was rooted in Indian classical music. The compositions were soulful, melodious and emotional, the songs were rich in poetry and purpose and the style was noticeably different from the popular brand of music in those days, which used to be either semi-classical, ghazal or light and peppy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.learningandcreativity.com/khayyam/|title=Reference: Khayyam: Making Poetry Come Alive With Melody|author=Antara Nanda Mondal|publisher=Learning and Creativity|date=18 February 2014|access-date=15 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715210807/https://learningandcreativity.com/khayyam/|archive-date=15 July 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

On his 89th birthday, Khayyam announced the formation of a charitable trust, Khayyam Jagjeet Kaur KPG Charitable Trust, and decided to donate his entire wealth to the trust to support budding artists and technicians in India.
