Rashid Attre

Abdul Rasheed Attra (15 February 1919 – 18 December 1967), better known as Rasheed Attre, was a Pakistani film score composer.
Early life and career.
Rasheed Attre was born in Amritsar, Punjab, British India in 1919. His father, Khushi Mohammad, was also singer-musician in his time. Young Rasheed acquired his initial music lessons from Khan Sahib Ashfaq Husain. Sharp enough in the field of learning music, Rasheed soon mastered the musical instruments in general and tabla, in particular.
In the early 1940s, Rasheed decided to consolidate his efforts towards music composition and started his music career from Mahishori pictures, Lahore, for whom he composed two songs for the film "Pagli". The rest of ("Pagli")'s songs were composed by Ustaad Jhanday Khan.
Rashid Attre was selected as the music director to compose songs for the Bombay Talkies' first Muslim social film "Nateeja" (1947), whose superhit ghazal ‘Kahan mein aur kahan deen-e-haram ki kashmakash, Nakhshab, kis kay naqsh-e-pa per rakh diya ghabra kay sar mein nay' is popular to date.
Once he migrated to Pakistan with his family, he was not able to take full advantage of noted singer Noor Jehan's singing talent initially, because Noor Jehan, in those days, would sing only for those films in which she also acted. So Rashid Attre used playback singers Zubaida Khanum and Naseem Begum in the early years of his career in Pakistan. Later, when Noor Jehan changed her mind, he composed music for many popular songs by her before he died in 1967.
Death.
Rasheed Attre died on 18 December 1967, at the age of 48.
