The national Anthem of pakistan , approved by the government in august 1954, is a harmonious rendering of a three stanza composition with a tune based on eastern music but arranged in such a manner that it can be easliy played by foreign bands.
The anthem is evocative in spirit, extolling Pakistan as the centre of faith an freedom, a land of beauty and strength drawn from the people and the country . the words touch upon the varrious facets of national life , with an invocation for the integrity of Pakistan.
the verses of national anthem have been composed by a renowned poet of pakistan . Abdul Asar hafeez jalandharee ; while the tune is composed by Ahmed G. Chagla. the well known composer and musician. the tune is based on different “raags” or melody modes, such as " Tilak Kamod", “bilawal”, Kohiari", " Pelu" and “Dhansuri”, The whole composition is however so arranged that it can be easily played by other musican without any difficulty.

I never read the english translation before. Back in KGS, we used to sing the national anthem each Wednesday morning in Urdu ofcourse - like everyone in the country does - but its good to have an english translation for people who do not understand Urdu and hence the anthem.

Gham aur khushiyan hamain Khuda kae aur nazdeek ker daeti hain, hamain is baat ka yaqeen ho jata hai kae hamarae liyae jo rasta Khudawand kareem nae banaya hai, hamain sirif usi pae chalna hai aur ham apni merzi sae aik kadam idhar sae udhar nahin ker saktae.
