Actually, I, uh, came to know myself, my people, uh, and a little about Pakistan, too.
Yes. Uh, you know Muhammad Iqbal. Pakistan's renowned intellectual.
Wake from your deep sleep, wake from deep sleep.
Yes, uh, and also its national poet. One day, as Muhammad Iqbal was traveling from Pakistan to Europe in the 1930s, uh, when the plane entered Turkish airspace, the pilot announced, “We are now in Turkish airspace.”
Muhammad Iqbal heard this and stood up and stood there silently for about thirty seconds, about a minute.
He just stood there in silence. His friends, the people beside him, were astonished.
When he sat back down, they asked, “Iqbal, when Turkey was announced, why did you stand up and wait there like that?”
Then he gave that magnificent definition that describes us as a nation.
He said, “We have entered the land of such a nation that This nation guarded Islam for a full five hundred years and championed the oppressed. I mean.
And this land is also where Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi rests.
Out of respect for this nation, I feel compelled to stand up.
Magnificent.

Original transcript (Turkish)
Aslında ben, eee, kendimi, milletimi, eee, biraz da Pakistan'da tanıdım.
Evet. Eee, Muhammed İkbal'i bilirsiniz. Pakistan'ın mütefekkir siması.
Uyan derin uykudan, derin uykudan uyan. Evet, eee ve aynı zamanda milli şairi.
Muhammed İkbal bir gün Pakistan'dan Avrupa'ya bir yolculuk yaparken 1930'lu yıllarda, eee, uçak Türk hava sahasına girince pilot anons ediyor, "An itibariyle Türk hava sahasındayız" diye.
Bunu duyan Muhammed İkbal ayağa kalkıyor ve bir otuz saniye kadar, bir dakika kadar ayakta öyle sessizce duruyor.
Arkadaşları şaşkın, yanındakiler. Tekrar yerine oturunca, "Ey İkbal, Türkiye anons edilince neden ayağa kalktın ve öylece bekledin?" diye sorulunca işte bizi, millet olarak bizi tanımlayan o muhteşem tanımı yapıyor.
Diyor ki, "Biz öyle bir milletin topraklarına girdik ki bu millet tam beş yüz yıl İslam'a muhafızlık ve mazluma hamilik yaptı. Yani.
Ve bu topraklar aynı zamanda Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi Hazretleri'nin yattığı topraklardır.
Bu millete duyduğum saygıdan dolayı ayağa kalkma gereği duyuyorum.
Muhteşem.
