Hafeez Jalandhri, was a Pakistani Urdu-language poet, writer, and hymnist. He is best known for writing the lyrics of the national anthem of Pakistan, known as "Qaumī Tarānah" in Urdu. Born on 14 January 1900, in Jalandhar, British India (now in Punjab, India), Hafeez Jullundhri later migrated to Pakistan after the partition in 1947.
His contributions to Urdu literature and poetry go beyond the national anthem. Hafeez Jalandhri wrote several books of poetry and prose. His poetry reflects themes of patriotism, Islamic values, and the beauty of nature. Despite his significant literary contributions, he is most widely remembered for his role in composing the national anthem, which was officially adopted in 1954. Hafeez Jullundhri passed away on 21 December 1982, in Lahore, Pakistan.
