The music of the anthem was composed by Ahmed Ghulamali Chagla, with lyrics written by Abu-Al-Asar Hafeez Jullundhri. Chagla produced the musical composition in collaboration with another committee member and assisted by the Pakistan Navy band. The NAC also examined several different tunes and eventually selected the one presented by Chagla and submitted it for formal approval. The committee chairman, Federal Minister for Education, Fazlur Rahman, asked several poets and composers to write lyrics but none of the submitted works were deemed suitable. In 1950, the impending state visit of the Shah of Iran, resulted in the Government asking the NAC to submit an anthem without delay.
The committee had some difficulty at first in finding suitable music and lyrics. Committee members included several politicians, poets and musicians such as Abdur Rab Nishtar, Ahmed Chagla and Hafeez Jullundhri. In December 1948, a National Anthem Committee (NAC) was formed, initially chaired by the Information Secretary, Sheikh Muhammad Ikram. The prizes were announced through a Government press note published in June 1948. Ghani from Transvaal, South Africa, offered two prizes of five thousand rupees each for the poet and composer of a new national anthem.

The lines presented below, were originally quoted by the Dawn newspaperġ949 - Musical composition by Ahmad G. Information on the first anthem by Azad is very sparse.
Azad's work remained as Pakistans national anthem for approximately eighteen months, despite competition from a rival attempt by B.T. The anthem written by Azad was quickly approved by Jinnah, and it was played on Radio Pakistan. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, asked Lahore-based Hindu writer, Jagannath Azad on Augto write a national anthem for Pakistan in five days. The flag itself had only been approved by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan three days earlier. When the flag was hoisted at the independence ceremony it was accompanied by the song, "Pakistan Zindabad, Azadi Paendabad". At independence, on August 14, 1947, Pakistan did not have a national anthem. The Pakistani national anthem is unique in that its music preceded its lyrics. It should be noted that the words Qaumi Tarana in Urdu literally translate to National Anthem. The Qaum? Tar?na (Urdu: ?) is the National Anthem of Pakistan.
