Happy be the bounteous realm,

Symbol of high resolve, Land of Pakistan,

Blessed be thou citadel of faith,

The Order of this Sacred Land

Is the might of the brotherhood of the people.

May the nation, the country, and the state

Shine in glory everlasting.

Blessed be the goal of our ambition.

This flag of the Crescent and the Star

Leads the way to progress and perfection,

Interpreter of our past, glory of our present,

Inspiration of our future,

Symbol of Almighty’s protection.
