Hafeez Jullundhri, an Urdu poet, wrote the Qaumi Taranah. He composed the Pak Anthem in Persian, which was then translated into Urdu. The poetry in these stanzas is built on narrative language, and one can readily guess the plot underlying the anthem's topic. It tells of the love between a woman named Pamiri and a man named Amanullah, who are separated by the conflict between India and Pakistan. They meet again after many years, but now it is too late - she is married to another man. Jullundhri was born in 1867 in Ullala, Punjab, British India. He died in 1950 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Before becoming famous as a poet, he worked for the Indian Railways. The poet whose work provides the text for the Pakistani national anthem has been called "the father of the nation" because his poems have had a profound influence on the development of Pakistani culture. His name is Muhammad Hafiz Ahmed Ghulam Ali Shah. He published his first collection of poems when he was only nineteen years old. Since then, he has gone on to become one of the most respected poets in South Asia. He was born on March 1, 1887, in Sialkot, Punjab, British India. His family moved to Lahore when he was a child so that he could receive an education.
