During a joint press conference with Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim, Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif recited Allama Iqbal's poem 'Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna…'. His poetic attempt was met with awkward silence, turning the briefing into a viral moment.
00:00Aram-e-Path says, ladies and gentlemen, my brothers and sisters,
00:05Khudi ko kar bunad etna,
00:09Khudi ko kar bunad etna,
00:13Ke had taqdīr se pehle,

00:28I'm in a connection here.
00:32Which I could actually, left one second.
00:36This is the choice.
00:37Or, jib ki teherai, ajar ki kaw.
00:48Now I thought, you know, says,
00:53to mankind, men,
00:56and the Muslims, but
00:59specially,
01:01that raise your self,
01:05your personal self,
01:07raise your childhood
01:10to such heights of glory
01:12that before

01:53innovation.
01:54You should,
01:57do all this,
01:59so that,
02:01and this is called,
02:03Khudi.
02:05Not Khudi,

02:10ego, not ego.
02:13That you have to,
02:16personify yourself,

03:35So I think this is what is the context of Deqbal's philosophy for self-realization, for self-discovery and this is what you have done in Malaysia.
04:05But a sprawling country of fathers. Malaysian brothers and sisters, hard work, undying efforts, innovation, research, honest and purpose, compassion, kind-heartedness, generosity, and as a mission, this is how nations are affected.
