Transliteration:

Pak sarzamin shad bad
Kishware haseen shad bad
Tunishane azmealishan arze Pakistan
Markazeyaqin shadbad.

Pak sarzamin ka nizam quwate akhuwati awam
Qaum, mulk, Sultanate
Painda ta binda bad shad, bad man zele murad.

Parchame sitarao hilal
Rahbare tarraqio ka mal
Tarjumane mazishane hal jane istaqbal
Sayyai, khudae zul jalal.

Translation:

Blessed are you, purest earth,
blessed, happy beautiful country.
You, epitome of the highest becoming,
Homeland, Pakistan.
Blessed are you, believers.

Always be the firm ground of the land the brotherly bond of the people.
Prosper people, nation of the people
and always bloom in glory.
Be happy, highest aspiration goal.

Crescent and star-studded banner,
lead to progress, splendor and glory.
Mediator of yesterday, splendor of now
be the stop of our lives forever.
God`s protection and shadow be yours at all times.
