It was the 94th Birth Anniversary of Late Khaiyyam yesterday (18 february 2020).
Born as Mohammed Zahur Khayyam Hashmi(18 February 1927 – 19 August 2019), he started his career as music director, as Sharmaji of duo of Sharmaji-Vermaji with Rehman Verma.
He passed away last year on 19th August 2019, after an illustrious career of more than 4 decades. As per the stats page, he has composed 377 songs in 42 movies, out of which 179 songs are already posted. My personal favourite songs list has to start with the songs of Rafi songs in ‘”Shola aur Shabnam” , include “Bazaar”, “Umrao Jaan”, “Shaam e gham ki Qasam”(Footpath), Rafi solo “hai kali kali ke lab par”, some songs of “Razia Sultan” especially the sehra “Aye khuda Shukr tera”, songs of ‘Kabhi Kabhi”, “bahaaron mera jeewan bhi sanwaaro” (Aakhri Khat) etc.
I cannot forget to mention two songs of “Shankar Husaain” both the unforgettable solos by Rafi and Lata Mangeshar. The list will go all the way to the songs of “Phir Subah hogi” . And “Simti hui ye ghadiyaan” of “Chambal Ki Qasam”. The song of “Khandaan” (ye Mulaquat ek bahana hai) and Rafi-Lata duet from “Chambal kiQasam” were special favourites at the All India Radio’s Urdu service afternoon show (Aap ki farmaish ).
From a layman point of view also the songs composed by Khaiyyam are always melodious and have a distinctive style of their own. I can call it almost a ‘Genre”, very similar to the style of “Jaidev”. Jaidev was an assistant to S. D. Burman, but I was able to find any references it Khaiyyam was an assistant to anyone. He may have been as the training is required here also as any other field.
He composed non film songs and ghazals also, almost 34 of which were sung by Mohammed Rafi.
As per Wikipedia :
“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. His wealth at the time of announcement was valued at around ₹10 crore (US$1.4 million)”
The song I have selected to present on this occasion is from the film ‘Bambai ki Billi”, alternatively named “Wild Cat”. How does “Bambai” translate of Wild in this instance, I can’t begin to decipher. The singer of this song is Lata Mangeshkar, with chorus. Lyricist is Hasrat Jaipuri, composer is the the one and only Khaiyyam.
The tune of the song is reminiscent of this song from “Kabhi Kabhi”.
Song-Main baaghon ki morni jab naachhon taa taa thaiyya (Bombay Ki Billi )(1960) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Hasrat Jaipuri, MD-Khaiyyam
Chorus
Lyrics
Jab jab mori paayal baaje
Logan ka aa dil dhhadke
Dekh ke mori chhalbalwa ??
man mein bijuriyaa kadkey ae
ho o
Main baaghon ki morni
Jab naachun taa taa thhaiyya
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
Haay re mori maiyya aa
Main baaghon ki morni
Jab naachoon taa taa thhaiyya
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
Haay re mori maiyya hoye
Nain kateele aur sooratiyaa saanwri
hoye hoye hoye hoye hoye
Nain kateele aur sooratiyaa saanwri
Ho gayee main ko dekh ye duniyaa baawri
Hoye
Ho gayee main ko dekhye duniyaa baawri
Haay re ra rararara ra ra
Jinki batiyaan zeher bhari hain
Jaise koi kasaiyya
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
Haay re mori maiyya hoye
Chaand bhi sharmaaye hai
Mere roop se
hoye hoye hoye hoye hoye
Chaand bhi sharmaaye hai
Mere roop se
Raat bhi din ban jaaye
Badan ki dhoop se
Hoy Raat bhi din ban jaaye
Badan ki dhoop se
Haay re la lalalara la la
Jin raston se chham chham jaaun
Taake mohe sipahiyaa
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
Haay re mori maiyya hoye
tu baaghon ki morni
Jab naache taa taa thhaiyya
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
baal ye kaale
Pyaar se paale naag hain
hoye hoye hoye hoye hoye
baal ye kaale
Pyaar se paale naag hain
Haathh badha ke chhoo na lenaa
aag hain
hoye
Haathh badha ke Chhoo na lenaa
aag hain
Haay re ra rararara ra ra
Man ki been bajaaun jab jab
Jhoome prem kanhaiyya
Dilwaalon ki julmi najar se
Koyi bacha le daiyya
Haay re mori maiyya hoye

Thanks Nahm ji for the post and tributes to Khayyam Saab. Like the post very much.
I think I am listening to this song first time and yes its tune noted its effect in the song of Kabhie Kabhie as mentioned by you.

I also heard it for the first time. I was looking for Rafi songs in the film, but could not find link. I was considering another song by Lata Mangeshkar, but the tune similarity to ‘Kabhi kabhi’ song was the clincher in favour of this song.
Thank you for reading the post.
