He was a great and a very talented composer. May he rest in peace. My most favorite song composed by him is 'Phir chhidi raat baat fulon ki' from Bazaar.

I read it is newspaper, He was talented music director. Although he didn't get chances like other composers of his time. I like many songs compose by Khayyam. Mere Jivan Bhi Shanwaro, Parvton ke pedo par sham ka basera hai. For us he is last long in his songs. May his soul rest in peace

His songs stood out because of the wonderful lyrics and melody.. I have many many favorite songs ..

Ae dil e naadaan , Kabhie kabhie mere dil mein, Sham e gham ki kasam, Aasman pe hai khuda, Chori chori koyi aaye ..

Yes Usha , all of these songs are lovely, melodious and so memorable even after so many years. what made him different was the soothing calmness of his music and he refused to compromise on quality because of which he did lose much work. But what work he did, made him and his name lasting in the industry.

I have grown hearing his music and think he will remain with us with his evergreen music. One of the greatest music composers of all times. I pray his soul rest in peace.

He was a legend and will live forever in heart of music lovers. Loved all his compositions. A few days back there was an article in TOI titled 1956 A love story. It beautifully wrote about the bond this great composer and his singer wife shared. In fact just after he got hospitalized, his wife also developed some symptoms and was hospitalized next to him. They stayed together fro few days and when she was released from hospital, she said in a gentle loving voice--"Saheb yahan mere bina kya karenge? He is used to me next to him all the time". That shows the great bond these two shared.

Khayyam was a very talented composer. Many of his songs leaves the listener spellbound and remain evergreen. His death is a great lose to the music world. May his soul rest in peace.

He composed music of 34 films in his life, but  music of all these 34 films are awesome. Movie may be flopped but his music was big hit one. Jeet he lengey bazi hum tum, Shola or Shabnam

There was a Rafi solo from the same film Jaane kya dhoondte rehate hai yeah aankhe mujh mein...which is an all time favorite song of mine 

Great music composer! All his songs are worth listening and some of you might not have known that he started his career as Sharma Ji with Verma JI
