Pak Sar Zameen Shad Bad
**
Pak sar zamin shad bad
Kishwar-e-hasin shad bad
Tu nishan e azm e alishan
Arz-e-Pakistan!
Markaz-e-yaqin shad bad
**
Blessed be the sacred land
Happy be the bounteous realm
Symbol of high resolve
Land of Pakistan!
Blessed be thou, citadel of faith

**
Pak sar zamin ka nizam
Quwat e ukhuwat e awam
Qaum, mulk, sultanat
Pa-inda tabinda bad!
Shad bad manzil e murad **

The order of this sacred land
Is the might of the brotherhood of the people
May the nation, the country, and the state
Shine in glory everlasting!
Blessed be the goal of our ambition
**
Parcham e sitara o hilal
Rahbar e tarraqqi o kamal
Tarjuman e mazi, shan e hal
Jan e istiqbal!
Sayah e Khuda e Zal Jalal
**
This flag of the crescent and star
Leads the way to progress and perfection
Interpreter of our past, glory of our present
Inspiration of our future!
Symbol of God, owner of glory and might

I love the way it is played in my school. So awesome but the students pay no heed, no care, nothing.. till they exit school.

I think difficult and not easy to understand language is the reason. same children pay more attention to 'Lab pe aati hai dua'.
