'''Nashad''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|ناشاد}}}}) (11 July 1923 – 14 January 1981) was a [[film]] [[composer]] and music director of Indian and [[Pakistani film industry]]. He composed music for [[Hindi]] films in the 1940s and 1950s, credited on-screen under the names '''Nashad''', '''Shaukat Haideri''' or '''Shaukat Ali Hashmi''' and then later migrated to Pakistan in 1964.<ref name=Samaa/>

==Early life and career==
Nashad Ali Shoukat was born in [[Delhi]], [[British India]], in 1923.<ref name=PakistanToday>[https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2012/01/03/musician-nashad-remembered/ Musician Nashad remembered] Pakistan Today (newspaper), Published 3 January 2012, Retrieved 14 June 2019</ref> He received his early academic education in a local high school in Delhi. He learned to play the flute. He moved to Bombay in the early 1940s. He composed under several names before finally settling for Nashad. Film director Nakshab Jarchavi changed Shaukat Ali's name to Nashad for his film ''Naghma'' (1953).<ref name=PakistanToday/>
He made his music debut under the name Shaukat Dehalvi in the 1947 action film ''Dildaar''. The director was Shiv Raj, and it had lyrics by C.M. Muneer. The cast consisted of Sagina, Yashonat, Dev Radha and Deepak.
He composed as Shaukat Ali for the 1948 film ''Jeene Do''. Made under the banner of J. Hind Chitra, its director was A. F. Keeka and K. A. Majeed, and the cast included Monica Devi, Panalal, Harish, Ratan Piya, Laila Gupta and Shanta Kanwar. He used his real name Shaukat Ali to compose for the 1948 film ''Payal''.

In 1948, he also composed songs for film '''Toote Taare (1948)''' as Shaukat Dehalvi. Released under the banner of [[Sheikh Mukhtar]]'s film production unit called "Omar Khayyam films", the director was Harish, and the cast included ''Shamim Banu'' and [[Motilal (actor)|Motilal]]. In this film, he composed Mughal Empereor [[Bahadur Shah Zafar]]'s famous ghazal "Na Kisi Ki Aankh Ka Noor Hoon" which became very popular throughout India.
In 1949, he composed music for actor-director [[Yakub (actor)|Yakub]]'s film, ''[[Aiye]]''. The film starred [[Yaqub]] and ''Sulochna Chatterji''.
In 1949, Nashad using the name Shaukat Ali Haideri composed songs for the film "[[Dada]]". The director was Harish, and it was released under the banner of "Omar Khayyam films", the cast included Sheikh Mukhtar, ''Begum Para'', [[Munawwar Sultana]], Shyam, [[Murad (actor)|Murad]], [[Mukri]], and Gullu. It was released in Jubilee cinema, [[Karachi]].
In 1953, film director, Nakshab Jarachavi, changed Shaukat Ali's name to Nashad, which he retained for the rest of his life. The story behind the name change has been written in the book "Naushad: Zarra Jo Aaftaab Bana" (Penguin). The director initially approached [[Naushad|Naushad Ali]] for composing the music for his film. When Naushad Ali refused, the irate director Nakshab Jarchavi then changed Shaukat Ali's name to Nashad, to make it sound like Naushad. Nashad composed for Jarchavi's 1953 film ''[[Naghma]]'', starring [[Nadira (actress)|Nadira]] and [[Ashok Kumar]].<ref name=Samaa/>

==Interview from 1955==
In August 1955, Nashad talked at length in an interview as to how composing film songs for [[Indian Film Industry]] was done back in those days. He said that when he was hired as a film music composer, his 'first job' usually was to sit with the film director and determine the musical situations in the upcoming film. After these discussions and back-and-forth suggestions, he would start composing the melodies to match with the mood of those situations in the film. Once the tune of the film song is agreed upon, then the lyricist writes the words of the approved tune.<ref name=cineplot>[http://cineplot.com/i-believe-in-popular-film-music-shaukat-dehalvi-nashad/ "I believe in Popular Film Music.." Shaukat Dehalvi Nashad] cineplot.com website, Published 24 October 2010, Retrieved 13 June 2019</ref>

In this interview, Nashad described just one method of composing film melodies. As we know, people in the film industry sometimes also use just the opposite method of composing film songs – for example in [[Pakistan]], the eminent poet [[Faiz Ahmed Faiz]] had written his famous [[nazm]], ''Mujh Se Pehli Si Mohabbat Mere Mehboob Na Maang'' without having the foggiest idea that it would be later used in a 1962 Pakistani film ''Qaidi'' and then would go on to become hugely popular among the public. Of course some of the credit should also go to the music director [[Rasheed Attre]] and his son Wajahat Attre who worked very hard to come up with the final song composition (per Wajahat Attre's interview years later) and no doubt the singer [[Noor Jehan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://images.dawn.com/news/1174067 |title=Did Noor Jehan take away 'Mujh Se Pehli Si Muhabbat' from Faiz Ahmad Faiz?|author=Manish Gaekwad|date=19 October 2015|publisher=Dawn (newspaper)|accessdate=14 June 2019}}</ref>
