Pakistan Zindabad (anthem)

Tarana-i-Pakistan (তারানা-এ-পাকিস্তান), or more popularly known as Pakistan Zindabad (পাকিস্তান জিন্দাবাদ), was an alternative national anthem sung by East Pakistan during its existence until 1971, and can be considered the de facto national anthem of East Pakistan. The song is in Bengali, the language of East Pakistan, and was adopted from a poem by East Pakistani (now Bangladeshi) poet Golam Mostofa with the name of Tarana-i-Pakistan in 1956. It was composed by Nazir Ahmed. The song was sang during school assemblies in East Pakistan by school children.
