Pak sar zameen shadbad
Blessed be the sacred land

Kishwar-e-haseen shadbad
Happy be the bounteous realm

Tu nishan-e-azm-e-Aalishan
Symbol of high resolve

Arz-e-Pakistan
Land of Pakistan!

Markaz-e-yaqeen shadbad
Blessed be thou, citadel of faith

Pak sar zameen ka nizam
The order of this sacred land

Quwat-e-ukhuwat-e-awam
Is the might of the brotherhood of the people

Qaum mulk saltanat
May the nation, the country, and the state

Payinda tabinda bad
Shine in glory everlasting!

Shadbad manzil-e-murad
Blessed be the goal of our ambition

Parcham-e-sitara-o- hilal
This flag of the crescent and star

Rehbar-e-taraqqi-o-kamal
Leads the way to progress and perfection

Tarjaman-e-mazi shan-e-hal
Interpreter of our past, glory of our present

Jan-e-istaqbal
Inspiration of our future!

Saya-e-khuda-e-zuljalal
Symbol of the protection of God, Owner of Majesty

Few details about National Anthem of Pakistan:

Music composer, Mr. Ahmed Ghulamali Chhagla, had the privilege to compose Pakistan’s National Anthem in 1949. Mr. Chhagla died four years later in 1953.

Mr. Chhagla used twenty-one musical instruments and thirty-eight different tones to compose Pakistan’s National Anthem.

The duration of Pakistan’s National Anthem is eighty seconds.

Seven hundred twenty three poets submitted their songs to the then Pakistani government.

The government of Pakistan approved Mr. Hafeez Jalundhary’s lyrics, which he had written in 1952. Thus, Mr. Hafeez Jalundhary’s poetry was transformed into Pakistan’s National Anthem.

Additionally, the Pakistani government awarded Rs. 10,000 to Mr. Hafeez Jalundhary. Mr. Hafeez Jalundhary was born in 1900 and died in 1982.

Mr. Hafeez Jalundhary used Persian words in the Pakistan’s National Anthem. The only exception is the word ‘ka’ which is an Urdu word.

The eleven singers below had the honor to lent their voice to Pakistan’s National Anthem:

1. Ahmed Rushdi.
2. Shamim Bano.
3. Kokab Jehan.
4. Rasheeda Begum.
5. Najam Ara.
6. Naseema Shaheen.
7. Zawar Husain.
8. Akhtar Abbas.
9. Ghulam Dastagir.
10. Anwar Zaheer.
11. Akhtar Wassi.

Pakistan’s National Anthem was broadcast for the first time from Pakistani radio stations on August 13, 1954.

Me:

So this is what I blogged about after 445 days. National Anthem of Pakistan is the only thing came up on my mind when I was thinking about this Independence day. So this is it, nothing new just posting the lyrics with translation cause I can see that people in Pakistan are forgetting their Qaumi Tarana. So this might help and  please just respect, love & serve your country and be united.

Happy CSS Naked Day

Get ready to go naked. On April 9th, 2008, hundreds, possibly thousands, of blogs and websites will go naked in honor of CSS Naked Day. Join fellow WordPress bloggers in honoring web designers and WordPress Theme builders by going naked.

This is the third year of the annual CSS Naked Day which honors web design and designers around the world who help make our websites and blogs look “pretty” to the eye while still being totally functional under the hood. Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers.

As explained yesterday in the Blog Herald announcement of CSS Naked Day, this is also an opportunity to showcase how usable and accessible your web page structure is even without the pretty, reminding the world that it is the law that your website must accessible by everyone using any method to access your blog.
