Muhammad Ali Jinnah asked a Lahore-based Hindu writer, Jagan Nath Azad, to write a national anthem for Pakistan. The Constituent Assembly had not adopted a national anthem by the time Pakistan became independent, so when the flag was hoisted at the independence ceremony it was accompanied by the song, "Pakistan Zindabad, Azadi Paendabad". The national anthem of Pakistan or Qaumī Tarāna (Urdu: قومى ترانہ), is played during any event involving the hoisting of the flag, for example Republic Day (23 March) and Independence Day (14 August). The flag is also flown on the residences and motor vehicles of many public officials including the President and the Prime Minister. The flag is flown on several important days of the year including Republic Day and Independence Day.
The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam, the Islamic world and the rights of religious minorities.
In the centre is a white crescent moon, representing progress, and a white five-pointed star, representing light and knowledge. The flag comprises a dark green field, representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan, with a vertical white stripe in the hoist, representing religious minorities. The flag is referred to in the national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu (lit.
It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 11 August 1947, just days before independence. The national flag was designed by Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, and was based on the original flag of the Muslim League.
