Pak Sarzamin Shad Bad

"Pak sarzamin shad bad" ("Blessed be the Sacred Land") is the national anthem of Pakistan. It was adopted in 1954, the same year that Pakistan became a republic. The lyrics are written by the famous Pakistani poet Abul Asar Hafeez Jalandhari, and the music composed by Ahmed G. Chagla. An interesting fact is that the music of the anthem was composed before the lyrics were written. The song is written in Urdu.

Transliteration of lyrics

Pak sarzamin shad bad
Kishware haseen shad bad
Tu nishane azme alishan
Arze Pakistan
Markaze yaqin shadbad.

Pak sarzamin ka nizam
Quwate akhuwate awam
Qaum, mulk, Sultanat
Painda tabinda bad
Shad bad manzile murad.

Parchame sitarao hilal
Rahbare tarraqio kamal
Tarjumane mazi, shane hal, jane istaqbal
Sayya-ai, khudae Zuljalal.

English translation

Blessed be the sacred Land
Happy be the bounteous realm
Symbol of high resolve
Land of Pakistan
Blessed be thou citadel of faith

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

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 Almighty's protection
