I have always felt that Khayyam's music sort of pinches my heart like no other music. Only some ilayaraja songs do that to me, but most of Khayyam's songs do it. Recently I have been continuosly listening to the song Phir Chiri Raat baat poolonki. I really like the flowers on the hair of women. To me it is not something that is symbol of some status. To me it is very etheral. I like smells of things and people and flowers.
I stay in a place where i can't get jasmine to be handed over to my wife. What a pity? Till then
फिर छिड़ी रात बात फूलों की
रात हैं या बरात फूलों की
फूल के हार, फूल के गजरे
शाम फूलों की, रात फूलों की
आप का साथ साथ फूलों का
आप की बात बात फूलों की
फूल खिलते रहेंगे दुनिया मी
रोज निकलेगी, बात फूलों की
नज़ारे मिलाती है, जाम मिलते है
मिल रही है, हयात फूलों की
ये महकती हुयी गजल मखदुम
जैसे सेहरा मी, रात फूलों की

Yes, Khaiyam's compositions are sweet, distant, and most importantly, haunting. Try listening to "Aakhri Khat", the Kishore Kumar songs in "Kabhi Kabhi", "Phir Subah Hogi", "Razia Sultan" and of course many others.
