The Dil Se Sarsabz competition marked Fatima Fertilizer’s debut of a nationwide Milli Naghma contest. The event combined music, digital media, and patriotism in one grand celebration. Young voices from across Pakistan took part, proving that traditional national songs can thrive in the modern era.
Participants were invited to record and share renditions of classic patriotic songs on TikTok using the hashtag #DilSeSarsabz. The idea resonated with youth everywhere. Hundreds of entries came in from cities and towns across the country.
From TikTok to the Stage
From this wave of entries, ten finalists were selected to perform live in Islamabad. A distinguished jury evaluated each performance. Legendary singer and music producer Haroon Rashid joined the panel, bringing star power and expert judgment.
The live event created an electric atmosphere. Finalists sang their hearts out, blending classic melodies with unique interpretations. The audience responded with applause and cheers.

Leaders Applaud the Youth
Rabel Sadozai, Director of Marketing and Sales, praised the contestants:
“With the Dil Se Sarsabz competition, we built a platform for young Pakistanis to echo their love for the country. The response shows that patriotism is alive and thriving. Through music and digital platforms, we can inspire a whole new generation.”

A Blend of Tradition and Technology
The Dil Se Sarsabz competition stood out by merging timeless patriotic songs with the reach of modern social media. TikTok became a stage for voices from remote areas and major cities alike. This digital bridge allowed older songs to connect with younger generations in a fresh way.
Observers called the approach a model for future national celebrations. Rather than relying only on traditional gatherings, this format brought patriotism directly into homes and onto mobile screens.
More Than Just Music
This was more than a singing contest. It was a statement that patriotism can adapt without losing its heart. The trending #DilSeSarsabz hashtag reflected a shared pride among participants and audiences.
Fatima Fertilizer also strengthened its public image. By encouraging creativity and community spirit, the company showed it values more than agriculture. It actively invests in the cultural heartbeat of the nation.
Looking Ahead
With its first edition a clear success, Fatima Fertilizer hinted that the Dil Se Sarsabz competition may return next year. If so, it has already set a high standard—one that blends heritage, innovation, and youthful energy.
From Chakwal to Khairpur, and from Islamabad to countless towns, voices united this Independence Day. The competition turned celebration into connection, proving that the future of patriotism lies in creative engagement.
