History
During the 44th Foundation Day of Jamia Millia Islamia in 1964, Mohammad Khaliq Siddiqui (1922-1981) released a poem in the journal "Jamia" (as Gumnam Jamaii’/ Anonymous Jamaii). This poem gained immense popularity. Hilal Ahmed Khan, the music teacher at Jamia during that time, composed a melody for the poem, which eventually became the official anthem of Jamia Millia Islamia.
