Every Pakistani is familiar with ‘Milli Naghmay’! You’ll find national songs playing on every TV channel and radio station on Independence Day, Defence Day and Pakistan Republic Day.
I remember how my school held an Independence Day function every year on August 14th where students performed skits and sang national songs. Even though we are familiar with the contemporary national songs, it’s time we reminisce the classics too.
Here is a list of 22 classic milli naghmay that would never get old:
1. Jeevay Jeevay Pakistan
