Pakistan National Anthem

The national anthem of Pakistan, known as "Qaumi Tarana," was written by Hafeez Jullundhri in 1952, and its music was composed by Ahmad Ghulamali Chagla in 1949. The lyrics are in highly Persianized Urdu, which gives the anthem a formal and poetic quality that reflects Pakistan's historical and cultural connections to Persia and South Asia. The anthem consists of three stanzas, each expressing profound pride, unity, and faith in the country's values.
The anthem's words honor Pakistan as a land of purity and peace, celebrating the country's beauty, sovereignty, and ideals. It also emphasizes unity, solidarity, and a commitment to defending the nation. The anthem is relatively short, about 80 seconds, but it resonates deeply with Pakistanis, symbolizing patriotism and national pride.
