Shehzad Roy’s song “Laga Reh” deals with the inability of
the people of Pakistan to correct their situation and how they have been unable
to deal with their problems. The starting of the video has the singer (dressed
as a newscaster) saying " Main jab dus saal ka tha tto maine 9 O'Clock
news pe suna ki Pakistan taareekh kay ek naazuk mod se guzar raha hai. He again reiterates this point by saying "Main phir 20 saal ka hua, maine phir 9 O'Clock news pe suna ki Pakistan taareekh ke ek
naazuk mod say guzar raha hai." This stagnation of Pakistan and its people
is portrayed by the “buzurgh” who dresses in a Quaid-e-Azam sherwaani, alluding
towards their inability to leave the past. These people who were responsible
for making something out of Pakistan have failed, leaving everything upon God,
but still question the youth about the betterment of the country and in doing
so diverting all responsibility upon them.
