Career
Naeem Hashmi made his film debut in British India in the film Chandani Chowk (1946). His first movie in Pakistan was Ilzam (1953).[3] His na'ats, or lyrics and praises said for the Islamic prophet Muhammad, also earned him much fame. The peak of his professional career came when he wrote the na'at Shah-E-Madina, Yasreb Ke Waali sung by Saleem Raza and Zubaida Khanum for the Pakistani film Noor-e-Islam (1957). It became a run-away super-hit song in 1957, and still has cultural relevance to this day.[2][1][3]
Many of his films, such as the banned Inqalab-e-Kashmir, addressed social and national Pakistani issues.[2] Ziddi (1973 film), Sharif Badmash (1975 film), Chitra Tay Shera (1976 film) were some of Naeem Hashmi's most successful films.[2][3]
