Me:

So this is what I blogged about after 445 days. National Anthem of Pakistan is the only thing came up on my mind when I was thinking about this Independence day. So this is it, nothing new just posting the lyrics with translation cause I can see that people in Pakistan are forgetting their Qaumi Tarana. So this might help and  please just respect, love & serve your country and be united.
