Sohni Dharti Allah Rakhey (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; lit. "Beautiful Land, May God Protect It") is a Pakistani patriotic song released in 1970. The song was written by Masroor Anwar, composed and produced by Sohail Rana, and performed in Urdu by Shahnaz Begum.[1][2][3][4]
Reception
The original recording received widespread public recognition and became one of Pakistan's most enduring patriotic songs.[4] Contemporary accounts note its strong resonance with audiences across the country. Former Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto reportedly described it as Pakistan's "second national anthem" and was known to sing along during public performances.[2]
Over time, Sohni Dharti became a regular feature at national events, schools, and official ceremonies. The song has been reinterpreted by several artists in subsequent decades, contributing to its continued cultural presence. Its legacy was further bolstered by a celebrated recreation by Coke Studio Pakistan, which attracted international attention upon release.[5]
