The Pakistan national anthem, Qaumi Tarana, was written by Hafeez Jalandhari, a renowned poet and writer from British India.
He was commissioned to write the anthem in 1949, shortly after Pakistan gained independence.
The anthem was first publicly performed on August 14, 1954, during the first anniversary of Pakistan's independence.
Jalandhari's anthem is known for its powerful lyrics, which express the spirit of patriotism and unity among Pakistanis.
