Pakistan Zindabad

^Oh give it a rest. Let people be happy for one day. Why do you want Pakistanis to be miserable at all times, what would that accomplish?

The independence of Pakistan was announced through Radio Pakistan on Aug 13, 1947 at 11:59 pm in Urdu, followed by a similar announcement in English.

Mustafa Ali Hamdani (1909?1980) made the Urdu announcement in the following words: . . .


!السلام علیکم پاکستان براڈ کاسٹنگ سروس۔ ہم لاہور سے بول رہے ہیں۔ تیرہ اور چودہ اگست، سنہ سینتالیس عیسوی کی درمیانی رات۔ بارہ بجے ہیں۔ طلوع صبح آزادی۔

The English translation of this announcement is as follows:

Greetings! Pakistan Broadcasting Service. We are speaking from Lahore. The night between the thirteen and fourteen of August, year forty seven. It is twelve o’clock. Dawn of Freedom.
