Tarana-e-Pakistan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with Tarana-i-Pakistan.
Tarana-e-Pakistan is claimed to be the first national anthem of Pakistan that was played on Pakistan's national radio on 14 August 1947.[1] An unsubstantiated claim is that it was composed by Jagannath Azad at the request of Mohammad Ali Jinnah. It was never officially adopted as Pakistan's national anthem and the "Qaumi Tarana" was officially adopted as Pakistan's national anthem in 1954.
