Pakistan’s national anthem was composed by musician Ahmad G. Chhagla in 1949, which was made using 21 musical instruments and 38 different tones.

Famous poet Hafeez Jallundhri wrote the national anthem in 1952 with the prize money of Rs10,000.

Moreover, Pakistan’s national anthem is written in the Persian language and it has only a single word “ka” in its national language Urdu.

The anthem was first issued on Radio Pakistan on August 13, 1954.

Furthermore, the first colour film with the flag and anthem was produced on January 19, 1955, in the United States of America (USA).

National Anthem of Pakistan

Pak sar zamin shad bad
Kisware haseen shad bad
Tunishane azmealishan arze Pakistan

Pak sarzamin ka nizam, quwate akhuwati awam
Qaum, mulk, sultanat
Painda ta binda bad, shad bad man zele murad

Parchame sitarao hilal
Rahbare tarraqio kamal
