Hafeez Jallandhari, a Pakistani Icon

Hafeez Jallandhari Sahib, the man who wrote the National Anthem (Qaumi Taraana) of Pakistan. He used to live two houses away on the right of our house in Model Town, Lahore. The land of his house was 6-kanal in size and he did not die in poverty. smile emoticonBut yes, he was a very simple man with simple lifestyle. Once I was riding my bicycle on the road in 1980s and he said something to me in fun and sat behind on my carrier.
