It was also to a large extent a comeback for Lata Mangeshkar. Razia Sultan carried the similar tone of soothing, lilting melodies. Whatever the case might be, Khayyam composed a string of wholesome, highly regarded albums from the late '70s onward, including Kabhi Kabhi, Umrao Jaan, and Bazaar. Yet on the other hand, many critics attribute the rise of Ghazals to the lyrically affluent music of Khayyam. Khayyam's true genius lay in the genre of ghazals, and this era saw an accelerated appreciation for this style and thus the soaring success of the music of Khayyam. It's ironic that the best work of Khayyam came at a time when Indian music was beginning to deteriorate in quality as well as popularity.
