<br />
In Bombay, Khayyam started of as Sharmaji of the Sharmaji-Varmaji composer duo and composed music for 'Heer Ranjha' in 1948. The composer had to go solo when his partner- the other half of Sharmaji-Vermaji- Rahman Verma moved to Pakistan post Partitiopn.&nbsp;<br />

<br />
Khayyam tasted similar success when he composed soul stirring music for Muzaffar Ali's 'Umrao Jaan' in 1982. His work in the film fetched him the National Award for Best Music that year and gave the auidence classics like 'In Aankhon Ki Masti' and 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai'.&nbsp;<br />
