Fayyaz Hashmi (Urdu: فیاض ہاشمی; 1920 – 2011) was a Pakistani poet and screenwriter who worked both in the Indian and Pakistani film industry.

He penned some memorable songs such as the famous nazm Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo[2] and Tasveer teri dil mera behela nah sakegi. The latter made the singer Talat Mahmood famous in India back in 1944 and was instrumental in introducing him to the Calcutta film industry.[3]

A little known fact about him is that he wrote the famous 'Na tum mere na dil mera', that was sung by Kamla Jharia, among many others. One of the couplets from this ghazal became popular that reads:

'aye bas naadaniyon par apni naaz karte hain, abhi dekhi kahan hain aapne naadaniyan meri'

'Dil Ko Hai Tum Se Pyar Kyoon, Yeh Na Bata Sakoon Ga Mein' sung by Jag Mohan

and then.....

"Yeh Raatein, Yeh Mausam, Yeh Hansana Hansaana, Mujhe Bhool Jana, Inhein Na Bhulana" sung by Pankaj Mullick (a non-film song).[4][5][6][7]

Early life

Fayyaz Hashmi was born in Calcutta in 1920.[8] His father, Muhammad Hussain Hashmi, was also a poet with pen name 'Dilgeer' as well as a writer of stage drama. His father also worked for Madan TheatreinCalcutta as a writer and director. The family lived next door to the veteran stage director Agha Hashar Kashmiri who regularly attended the literary gatherings at his father's home.[9][7]

Fayyaz Hashmi was employed as the resident lyricist by the British-owned Gramophone Company of India from 1943 to 1948.[9] "Fayyaz Hashmi wrote his first verse, 'Chaman mein ghuncha-o-gul ka tabassum dekhne walo - Kabhi tum ne haseen kalyon ka murjhana bhi dekha hai', when he was in 7th class."[9] He wrote his very first full songs that Talat Mahmood sang in 1941 (Sab din ek samaan nahin tha) and the runaway hit Tasveer teri dil mera behla na sakay gi with music composed by Kamal Dasgupta.[8][9]
