Watan Hamara Azad Kashmir

"Watan Hamārā Āzād Kashmīr" (Urdu: وطن ہمارا آزاد کشمیر) is the national anthem adopted by Azad Kashmir, a region in the northern part of the Indian Subcontinent currently administered by Pakistan. It is based on a poem of the same name written in the mid-1960s by Hafeez Jaalandhari.[1] It was inspired during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965.[2]
