No nation can thrive without recognising and celebrating their heroes. Ali Sadpara was one such unsung hero who dedicated his entire life and risked it to accomplish unprecedented feats for his country.
This is the least I could do: sing for an unsung hero so that he is etched into our memories for as long as there is music.
Muhammad Ali Sadpara is the only Pakistani to have climbed eight of the world’s 14 highest mountains, and he made the first ever winter ascent of the world’s ninth highest peak, Nanga Parbat.
Notable achievements of Ali Sadpara are: Gasherbrum II in 2006, Nanga Parbat four time (2008, 2009, 2016 – First winter ascent – and 2017), GI in 2010, Broad Peak Fore summit in 2012, Broad Peak in 2017, K2 in 2018, and Lhotse Makalu and Manaslu in 2019. Muhammad Ali Sadpara, John Snorri from Iceland and Jp Mohr Prieto from Chile, went missing on February 5 during the expedition to K2.

The video opens with Sadpara talking about his routine. “I leave at three in the night, and around 10 o’clock the first ray of the sun warms me.”
There are shots of Sadpara from his interviews and various climbs, holding a Pakistani flag. The song ends with a clip showing Sadpara dancing to the very song, surrounded by fellow mountaineers.
