The National Anthem of Pakistan, also known by its incipit "The Sacred Land", is the national anthem of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It was composed by Ahmad G. Chagla in 1949, with classical Urdu lyrics being written later by Hafeez Jalandhari in 1952. It was broadcast publicly for the first time on Radio Pakistan on 13 August 1954, sung by Jalandhari himself, and officially adopted as the national anthem of the Dominion of Pakistan on 16 August 1954 by the Ministry of Interior.
After officially being adopted, it was recorded in the same year by eleven singers of Pakistan including Ahmad Rushdi.
