    Independence Day: Five Mili Naghmas we love

    Today is the 75th Independence Day of Pakistan. In seven decades of Pakistan’s history, many mili naghmas (national songs) were produced. We have listed the top five mili naghmas that we think are loved by everyone.

    Yeh Watan Tumhara Hai

    This mili naghma was sung by Mehdi Hassan in 1962. “Mir-e-karwaan hum thay, rooh-e-karwaan tum ho. Hum to sirf unwaan thay, asal dastaan tum ho.” These lyrics will surely re-ignite the patriotic spirit in you.

    Dil Dil Pakistan

    It won’t be unfair to say that Dil Dil Pakistan by Vital Signs can be termed as the unofficial national anthem of Pakistan. It was released on Independence Day in 1987. It was also copied and used in an Indian film in 1990.

    Ae Watan Pyare Watan

    Ae Watan Pyare Watan was released in 1965 and is sung by Ustad Amanat Ali Khan.This mili naghma evokes strength, jubilance, and a sense of patriotism.

    Ae Watan Ke Sajeelay Jawano

    Malika-e-Tarranum Noor Jehan recorded 12 songs during the 1965 war. Ae Watan Ke Sajeelay Jawano was one of them. Composed with love and passion, this is a song that is guaranteed to evoke patriotism in you.

    Ae Rahe Haq Ke Shaheedon

    The song was composed and sung for the film Madar-e-Watan released in 1966, a year after the 1965 War to pay homage to the martyrs of the 1965 War and is sung by Naseem Begum. The lyrics and music of this song never fails to touch our hearts.

    Happy Independence Day. Pakistan Zindabad!
