It was played before the NAC on 10 August 1950.
It was later played for Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan during his official visit to the United States on. The anthem, without lyrics, was performed for the first time for a foreign head of state on the state visit of the Shah of Iran to Pakistan in Karachi on 1 March 1950 by a Pakistan Navy band. On 21 August 1950, the Government of Pakistan adopted Chagla's tune for the national anthem. Chagla and submitted it for formal approval. The NAC also examined several different tunes and eventually selected the one presented by Ahmed G. The NAC chairman, then Federal Minister for Education, Fazlur Rahman, asked several poets and composers to write lyrics but none of the submitted works were deemed suitable. In 1950, the impending state visit of the Shah of Iran added urgency to the matter and resulted in the government of Pakistan asking the NAC to submit a state anthem without further delay. When President Sukarno of Indonesia became the first foreign head of state to visit Pakistan on 30 January 1950, there was no Pakistani national anthem to be played. The NAC encountered early difficulties in finding suitable music and lyrics. The NAC was initially chaired by the Information Secretary, Sheikh Muhammad Ikram, and its members included several politicians, poets and musicians, including Abdur Rab Nishtar, Ahmad G. In December 1948, the Government of Pakistan established the National Anthem Committee (NAC) with the task of coming up with the composition and lyrics for the official national anthem of Pakistan. The prizes were announced through a government press advertisement published in June 1948. Ghani, a Muslim from South Africa's Transvaal, offered two prizes of five thousand rupees each for the poet and composer of a new national anthem for the newly independent state of Pakistan. But after 18 months of granting Tarane’s approval, Jinnah died and with this the Tarane’s approval was abolished.Ahmed Rushdi recorded the National Anthem of Pakistan in 1954. At the same time, till the death of Jinnah, this community remained a tarana. Jinnah made it the Qaumi Tarana of Pakistan. Jagannath prepared the tarana in just five days. But in view of Jinnah’s political stature and in front of his will, there was no movement of the fundamentalists. This was the reason why he expressed his displeasure and said that how can a Hindu write the Qaumi Tarana of Pakistan. However, there was no dearth of hardline leaders in Pakistan.
Jinnah said to Jagannath, ‘I give you only five days’ time, you will write Qaumi Tarana for Pakistan in these five days.’ Approval given to national anthem ended with Jinnah’s deathĪt the same time, Jagannath was quite surprised by Jinra’s assignment of writing the national anthem. It is worth noting here that Jinnah had given very little time to Jagannath to write the national anthem of Pakistan or to say Tarana. That’s why he contacted Jagannath Azad, a well-known Urdu poet of Lahore. However, Jinnah wanted to present Pakistan to the world as a secular country. His advisors recommended him the names of many well-known Urdu poets who could write Pakistan’s Tarana. Jinra wanted the national anthem of Pakistan to be prepared as soon as possible. Jinnah gave only five days to write the national anthem
