URDU LYRICS
Pak sar zamin shad bad
Kishware haseen shad bad
Tu nishane azme alishan
Arze Pakistan!
Markaze yaqin shad bad.
Pak sar zamin ka nizam
Qu wate akhu wate awam
Qaum, mulk, Sultanat
Painda ta binda bad,
Shad bad man zele murad.
Parchame sita rao hilal
Rahbare tarraqio kamal
Tarjumane mazi shane hal
Jane istaqbal!
Sayyai, Khudae zul jalal.

Pakistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (Urdu: اسلامی جمہوریۂ پاکستان), is a country located in South Asia, and is also a part of the Greater Middle East. It has a thousand-kilometre coastline along the Arabian Sea in the south and borders Afghanistan and Iran to the west, India to the east and the People's Republic of China in the far northeast.[2]
Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world, is home to the second most populous city in the world, and is the third most populous Muslim country. It was established as a modern state in 1947, as one of the two parts of the partitioned British India, but the region has a long history of settlement and civilisation including the Indus Valley Civilisation. The region was invaded by Indo-Aryans, Afghans, Greeks, Persians, Arabs, and was incorporated into the British Raj in the nineteenth century. Since independence, Pakistan has experienced times of significant military and economic growth, and times of instability, with the loss of East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh). Pakistan has the seventh largest armed forces in the world and is a declared nuclear weapons state.
