The State
Emblem |
| |
The State Emblem of Pakistan, which was
approved by the Central Government in 1954,
symbolizes Pakistan's ideological foundation,
its cultural heritage, the guiding principles
and the basis of its economic strength.The
four ingredients of the Emblem are:
The
crescent and star crest at the top is a
traditional symbol of Islam
The
shield in the centre, with four partitions,
shows cotton, wheat, tea and jute. These
are the main
crops of Pakistan and signify the strong
agriculture based economy
The
wreath surrounding the shield is a reproduction
of the floral designs used in traditional
Mughal art.
Its inclusion in the design reminds of the
nation's cultural heritage
The
scroll supporting the shield carries the
Urdu version of Quaid-e-Azam's famous motto
--- "Faith",
"Unity", Discipline. These three
words articulate the guiding principles
for the nation
Unlike
other heraldic devices which are emblazoned
with symbols representing mythological,
historical
and geographical features, Pakistan's state
emblem gives due recognition to the country's
source of inspiration, strength and tradition

National
Anthem |
| |
The National Anthem
of Pakistan approved by the Government
in August 1954, is a harmonious rendering
of a three-stanza composition with a tune
based on eastern music but arranged in
such a manner that it can be easily played
by foreign bands.
The Anthem is evocative in spirit, extolling
Pakistan as the centre of faith and freedom,
a land of beauty and strength drawn from
the people and the country. The words
touch upon the various facets of national
life, with an invocation for integrity
o Pakistan.
The Verses of the Anthem
have been composed by a renowned poet
of Pakistan, Abul Asar Hafeez Jullundhri;
while the tune has been composed by Ahmed
G. Chagla, the well known musician and
composer.
The Anthem written in
Urdu is a unique poetical composition,
as in spite of its brevity it is a lyrical
exultation for the quintessence of Pakistan
its Islamic foundation, ideology,
ethos, aspirations and its intrinsic strength.
