To make sure no one understood it. I bet 90% of pakistanis have no idea what the meaning is.

That has been the problem with pakistan for a long time. Too much pretentiousness and self-glorification.

How many and which words from the anthem are not used in Urdu?

Bad bet my friend, unless you imagine only 10% Pakistanis know Urdu.

Also, please find me a national anthem of any country which does not glorify that country.
