Lyrics of the ISPR tribute song
A tribute to martyrs and ghazis
The anthem is presented as a salute to the "Guardians Who Protect the Peace of Pakistan". It honours the shuhada, who gave their lives in the line of duty, and the ghazis, the veterans and survivors who continue to watch over the country's security.
Its lyrics stress the commitment of police personnel to defending the country and keeping the peace. They also recognise the lasting contribution of those who have made sacrifices while serving.
Remembering the human cost
The song turns attention to the personal price of police work. It recalls the officers who never returned home, the empty chairs at family dinner tables, and the children who are growing up proud of parents who gave everything for the flag.
Through its visuals and composition, the tribute makes the point that the names of fallen officers may be carved into memorial walls, but their real legacy lives on in the everyday safety of ordinary Pakistanis.
The first line of defence
The release describes the police as the nation's first line of defence against terrorism, violent crime and disorder. It points to their service in places ranging from the streets of Karachi to the valleys of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and from remote check posts in Balochistan to the heartland of Punjab.
Police officers and personnel work around the clock to maintain law and order across the country. They regularly face dangerous situations while protecting communities and confronting security threats, and their efforts remain central to the country's push for peace and stability.
A voice from within the ranks
The anthem is performed by a member of the force itself, Head Constable Raja Azam Javed of the Punjab Police. He has served in the department since 2005 and has also worked as a weapons instructor at the Police College, Sihala.
Combining long years of disciplined service with a passion for music, he brings the lived experience of the police uniform into the performance, lending it raw emotion and credibility.
Words at the heart of the song
One refrain captures the spirit of the piece, celebrating both those who died and those who survived their service. With this release, the ISPR has underlined the sacrifices of police personnel and their part in national security.
The contribution of the martyrs and ghazis remains a source of pride and a lasting part of Pakistan's history.
