"National Anthem"), also known as "Pk Sarzamn" ( , pronounced [pk szmin]; "Thy Sacred Land"), is the national anthem of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and formerly the Dominion of Pakistan. It was written in Urdu by Hafeez Jalandhari in 1952 and the music was composed by Ahmad G. Chagla in 1949, preceding the lyrics. It was broadcast publicly for the first time on Radio Pakistan on 13 August 1954, sung by Jalandhari himself and officially adopted on 16 August 1954 by the Interior Ministry of the Government of Pakistan.

In early 1948, A. R. Ghani, a Muslim from South Africa's Transvaal, offered two prizes of five thousand rupees each for the poet and composer of a new national anthem for the newly independent state of Pakistan. The prizes were announced through a government press advertisement published in June 1948. In December 1948, the Government of Pakistan established the National Anthem Committee (NAC) with the task of coming up with the composition and lyrics for the official national anthem of Pakistan. The NAC was initially chaired by the Information Secretary, Sheikh Muhammad Ikram, and its members included several politicians, poets and musicians, including Abdur Rab Nishtar, Ahmad G. Chagla and Hafeez Jullundhri.[citation needed] The NAC encountered early difficulties in finding suitable music and lyrics.

When President Sukarno of Indonesia became the first foreign head of state to visit Pakistan on 30 January 1950, there was no Pakistani national anthem to be played. In 1950, the impending state visit of the Shah of Iran added urgency to the matter and resulted in the government of Pakistan asking the NAC to submit a state anthem without further delay. The NAC chairman, then Federal Minister for Education, Fazlur Rahman, asked several poets and composers to write lyrics but none of the submitted works were deemed suitable. The NAC also examined several different tunes and eventually selected the one presented by Ahmed G. Chagla and submitted it for formal approval.[3] On 21 August 1950, the Government of Pakistan adopted Chagla's tune for the national anthem.[4]

The anthem, without lyrics, was performed for the first time for a foreign head of state on the state visit of the Shah of Iran to Pakistan in Karachi on 1 March 1950 by a Pakistan Navy band.[citation needed]

It was later played for Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan during his official visit to the United States on 3 May 1950. It was played before the NAC on 10 August 1950.[5] Official recognition to the national anthem, however, was not given until August 1954.[5] The NAC distributed records of the composed tune amongst prominent poets, who responded by writing and submitting several hundred songs for evaluation by the NAC. Eventually, the lyrics written by Hafeez Jullundhri were approved and the new national anthem was broadcast publicly for the first time on Radio Pakistan on 13 August 1954, sung by Hafeez Jullundhri himself. Official approval was announced by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on 16 August 1954. The composer, Ahmed G. Chagla, died in 1953, before the new national anthem was officially adopted. In 1955, there was a performance of the national anthem involving 11 major singers of Pakistan, including Ahmad Rushdi, Kaukab Jahan, Rasheeda Begum, Najam Ara, Naseema Shaheen, Zawar Hussain, Akhtar Abbas, Ghulam Dastagir, Anwar Zaheer and Akhtar Wasi Ali.[6][7][8]

The lyrics which are in classical High-Urdu is written by the Pakistani Urdu-language poet Hafeez Jalandhari in 1952. Each word in the anthem was carefully picked to make sure it was a valid Perso-Arabic word (to avoid Hindostani words) and it cohered with the tune of the anthem. Most words of the anthem have commonality with the Persian language, hence rendering them mutually intelligible in both Urdu and Persian scripts. No verse in the three stanza lyrics is repeated.[1] The lyrics have heavy Persian poetic vocabulary,[15] and only use one exclusively native word, "k".[16]

The Anthem is evocative in spirit, extolling Pakistan as the centre of faith and freedom, a land of beauty and strength drawn from the people and the country. The words touch upon the various facets of national life, with an invocation for integrity of Pakistan.

So I'm mainly interested in the reason to why it's played. Beyond that I'm interested to know if people from this sub are for it, against it, or indifferent about it. Personally, I don't see the point in playing it, especially not for international films.

To keep an uninteresting story short, I was working on a project on Niger earlier this year for AP Human Geography. Part of that project had me listen to the anthem and look at the lyrics. I remarked to some of my friends that it was not very good and also how hard it was to find a quality version of it. The first friend suggested we rank every anthem, and I laughed it off. Then a second friend said the same to me in an unrelated conversation, and from there it was destiny.

We used the tier list system. For those who have never heard of it, I explained it in the intro to my Westworld series, but it is essentially a series of categories of quality. The top tier contains the highest quality anthems, and as you descend they are overall worse in our opinion. Within these tiers, they are also ordered. The top left country is the best in that tier, and the bottom right the worst.

I actually come here looking for a place where I could download the Bhutanese anthem. I was surprised is in the bad category, but it might be the case of the version. The instrumental one available on YouTube or Wikipedia is just awesome! Like from an Asian fantasy movie.


You are absolutely right!!! It is one of the very few non-Western countries that actually have an anthem that might be from local traditional music! Colonization was a terrible terrible thing, it destroyed even the self esteem of the colonized.

Hey Braden and the staff of CT. A renowned youtuber from Argentina quoted your note. Personally, I love that the anthem of my country is the one that you liked the most. I leave you the link to the video I mentioned. Greetings from Argentina


The lyricist of the first national anthem was the poet Jagannath Azad, son of the renowned poet Tilok Chand Mahroom (who won accolades for his rendering of naat at mushairas). Born in Isa Khel (Mianwali), Jagannath Azad was working in Lahore when Mr. Jinnah commissioned him for this task just three days before Independence. He complied, Jinnah approved the lyrics, and the anthem went on air on Radio Pakistan Karachi (then the capital of Pakistan) the day Pakistan was born. Some Pakistanis still remember hearing it. Those who came after 1948 have no memory of it.

Quaid-e-Azam being the visionary that he was knew an anthem would also be needed, not only to be used in official capacity but inspire patriotism in the nation. Since he was secular-minded, enlightened, and although very patriotic but not in the least petty Jinnah commissioned a Hindu, Lahore-based writer Jagannath Azad three days before independence to write a national anthem for Pakistan. Jagannath submitted these lyrics:

The anthem commissioned by Jinnah was just one of his legacies that his successors swept aside, along with the principles he stressed in his address to the Constituent Assembly on Aug 11, 1947 -- meant to be his political will and testament according to his official biographer Hector Bolitho (Jinnah: Creator of Pakistan, John Murray, London, 1954).

Islamabad, 11 August 2022: As a special gesture to honour Pakistan on it 75th Independence Day, the EU Ambassador H. E. Dr Riina Kionka played the national anthem on trumpet. This unique way to mark the 14th of August when Pakistan obtained independence in 1947 was shared through a special campaign on the social media channels of the European Union Delegation to Pakistan in Islamabad.

The legendary Urdu poet Mohammed Iqbal (Allama Iqbal), the spiritual parent of Pakistan, had composed a national song for India, Saare Jahan Se Accha Hindustan Hamara, but nothing for the Pakistani nation.

Azad insisted that Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, asked him to write the national anthem which he did, but after Jinnah's death no one in Pakistan was willing to acknowledge that a Hindu had written the national anthem of a Muslim State! (You can read more here (external link).)

In addition, the draft requires that the national anthem be included in the first-grade textbooks of all elementary schools, and all elementary schools and middle schools should regard singing the song as an important part of patriotism education and have their students learn to sing the song.

The Anthem is evocative in spirit, extolling Pakistanas the centre of faith and freedom, a land of beauty and strength drawnfrom the people and the country. The words touch upon the various facetsof national life, with an invocation for integrity o Pakistan.


The Verses of the Anthem have been composed by a renowned poet of Pakistan,Abul Asar Hafeez Jullundhri; while the tune has been composed by AhmedG. Chagla, the well known musician and composer.


The Anthem written in Urdu is a uniquepoetical composition, as in spiteof its brevity it is a lyrical exultation for the quitessence of Pakistanits Islamic foundation, ideology, ethos, aspirations and its intrinsic strength.


The National anthem of Pakistan is one of the most prestigious ones in the world and is very short. 

It's duration is only one minute and eight seconds.
