Hilal-i-Istaqlal (Template:Langx) is an honour awarded to civilians in Pakistan. The name translates as Crescent of Independence.

In 1966, the Government of Pakistan awarded Hilal-i-istaqlal to Lahore, Sargodha and Sialkot for showing severe resistance to the enemy during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 as these cities were targets of the Indian advance.[1] Every year on Defence Day (6 September), this flag is hoisted in these cities in recognition of the will, courage and perseverance of their people.[2]
