2 | Screenshot of Sarmad Tariq during his speech at TEDxKarachi 2011. | Dikasary nalaina tamin'ny fnadraisan'i Sarmad Tariq fitenanana tamin'ny TEDxKarachi 2011. |
3 | A swimming accident at the age of 15 left Sarmad Tariq paralyzed from the left shoulder down and forced him to use a wheelchair. | Loza iray nandritry ny filomanosany fony izy 15 taona no nahatonga an'i Sarmad Tariq halemy ny ilany havia manomboka eo amin'ny soroka hatrany ambany ka nanery azy hampiasa seza misy kodiarana. |
4 | But that didn't prevent the man from Islamabad, Pakistan, from traveling the world as a motivational speaker and marathon athlete. | Saingy tsy nahasakana ity lehilahy iray avy ao Islamabad, Pakistana, ity izany tsy hivezivezy eran'izao tontolo izao haka ny toeran'ny mpikabary mampihetsi-po sy atleta mpamporisika. |
5 | In his country and abroad, many were inspired by Tariq, who took in his stride whatever impossible odds nature put in his path. | Ao anatin'ny fireneny sy any ivelany, betsaka ireo naka aingam-panahy avy amin'ny nataon'i Tariq, izay niezaka hatrany handingana ny sàkana napetraky ny natiora tamin'ny làlany. |
6 | Tariq, who was also a fiction writer, died in the morning hours of April 30, 2014, in his home at the age of 38. | Tariq, izay mpanoratra tantara foronina ihany koa, dia maty vao maraina be ny 30 Aprily 2014, teo amin'ny faha-38 taonany. |
7 | He maintained a blog and Facebook profile where he was open with readers about his health and history and made it clear that he wasn't looking for pity. | Nitantana bilaogy iray sy pejy Facebook izy, toerana nifaneraserany malalaka tamin'ireo mpamaky azy mikasika ny fahasalamany sy ny tantarany ary nataony nazava tsara ny hoe tsy nikatsaka fitserana izy. |
8 | On March 16, 2014, he posted what became his last entry to his Facebook page and blog, describing his perseverance: | Ny 16 Martsa 2014, nandefa hafatra izay ny farany avy aminy izy tao amin'ny pejiny Facebook page sy ny bilaoginy, manoritsoritra ny fitozoany : |
9 | Dear God, | Andriamanitra ô, |
10 | Quadriplegia, autonomic dysreflexia, sepsis, malaria, chronic bronchitis, bed sores and only you can tell how many more. | Fahalemen'ny tongotra aman-tànana, hyperréflexie autonome, septicémie, malaria, bronchite chronique, ratra am-pandriana sy izay hafa maro ianao irery no afaka hiteny azy. |
11 | You know that I currently suffer from more ailments that a common person can pronounce. | Fantatrao fa miharitra hirifiry aho ankehitriny noho ny aretina maro izay tsy hain'ireo olon-tsotra holazaina akory. |
12 | Just during the past one month I have been rushed to the hospital twice in critical condition. | Tamin'ny volana lasa fotsiny izao dia efa in-droa aho no nentina maika namonjy toeram-pitsaboana noho ny toe-pahasalamana ratsy dia ratsy. |
13 | […] My family members are on the verge of nervous breakdowns. | […] Teo amoron-tevan'ny famoizam-po ny fianakaviako. |
14 | I regularly lose consciousness, get breathless by the simple act of speaking, see my body temperature rise to extreme highs and drop to unbelievable lows. […] | Matetika tsy nahatsiaro tena aho, sempotra na dia ny hiteny fotsiny aza, mahita ny maripànan'ny vatako miakatra avo dia avo ary avy eo midina faran'izay ambany tsy mampino mihitsy. […] |
15 | And yet… yet I am not complaining. | Kanefa… tsy mitaraina aho anefa. |
16 | I live on, I keep smiling, my faith does not waver, I refuse to lose hope, I am a survivor. | Miaina aho, manohy mitsiky, tsy very ny finoako, laviko ny ho very fanantenana, sisam-paty aho. |
17 | You know I am doing my best. | Fantatrao fa manao izay tratrako aho. |
18 | But… Dear God, I know you don't give anyone more than he can take, I know you wouldn't let me break, you wouldn't let my belief shake, but if it isn't too much to ask, I really really need a break! | Nefa… Andriamanitra ô, fantatro fa tsy hampitondra mihoatra izay zakan'ny tsirairay ianao, fantatro fa tsy sitrakao ny hamela ny finoako hihozongozona, fa raha tsy dia tafahoatra loatra ny hàtako, tena mila fitsaharana aho! |
19 | An outpouring of posts commemorating Tariq online followed the news of his death. | Hafatra fanomezam-boninahitra an'i Tariq no niraradraraka avy hatrany nanaraka ny vaovao momba ny fodiany mandry. |
20 | Awab Alvi, a Global Voices author and a TED senior fellow from Pakistan, remembered Tariq's TEDxKarachi 2011 appearance in a Facebook post: | Ao anaty Facebook, Awab Alvi, mpanoratra ho an'ny Global Voices sady zokibe mpiara-miasa amin'ny TED avy ao Pakistana, no nampahatsiahy ny fandraisana anjaran'i Tariq tamin'ny TEDxKarachi 2011: |
21 | In the run-up to the event, I had only “heard” about his story, I emailed him a couple of times, and talked to him over the phone to setup logistics and other details a few times prior to the event, but when he took to the stage, a quadriplegic in his wheelchair, wearing a Think Positive T-shirt, a bold white watch & a fumbling mineral water bottle - nothing prepared us for what he would say in the next 22 minutes - by the end of the speech, probably each of the 450 member audience had goosebumps and simply could not help giving this amazing man a long well deserved standing ovation. | Tao anatin'ny vanim-potoana nialoha ny hetsika no mba hany “nahenoako” mikasika ny tantarany, in-droa nandefa mailaka taminy aho, ary nifandray an-telefaona taminy mba handamina ny fandraisana sy ny pitsopitsony hafa, fotoana fohy talohan'ny hetsika, nefa nony niakatra ny sehatra izy, olona iray malemy tongotra aman-tànana eo ambony seza misy kodiarana, mitondra T-Shirt misoratra hoe “Think Positive” (Ento Misonga Ny Fisainana, na hoe Mitrakà), sy famantaranora iray lehibe fanao amin'ny tànana, miloko fotsy & ary rano mineraly anaty tavoahangy - tsy nisy zavatra niomananay mihitsy mikasika izay ho ambarany ao anatin'ny 22 minitra nanaraka an'izay - tany amin'ny faran'ny fandraisany fitenenana, azo antoka fa nangorintsina daholo ireo 450 tsirairay nihaino azy ary tsy nahavita tsotra izao ny tsy hitsangana maharitra mba hanome voninahitra ity lehilahy nahavariana ity. |
22 | Here is his speech from TEDxKarachi: | Ity ny kabariny tamin'ny TEDxKarachi: |
23 | Shireen Naqvi, director at the School of Leadership in Karachi, thanked Tariq: | Nisaotra an'i Tariq i Shireen Naqvi, tale ao amin'ny Sekolin'ny Fahaiza-mitarika ao Karachi, : |
24 | Besides being grateful for the limitless times you have enriched our lives in personal and team gatherings, I thank you for standing by our side, amongst us, every time, to turn the youth of our country into leaders with compassion, resolve and foresight. [..] | Ankoatry ny fankasitrahana noho ireo fotoana tsy manam-petra nitondranao harembe ho an'ny fiainanay taminà fihaonana manokana sy taminà fivoriambe, isaorako ianao tamin'ny fijoroana teo anilanay, teo anivonay, tamin'ny fotoana rehetra, nanova ny tanoran'ny firenentska ho mpitarika manana fitserana, mamaha olana ary manana fijery lavitra. [..] |
25 | Your legacy shall live on! | Hitohy ho velona ny lova navelanao! |
26 | Isfandiyar Shaheen, one of Tariq's neighbours, recalled Tariq's keys to happiness: | Isfandiyar Shaheen, iray amin'ireo mpifanolo-bodirindrina amin'i Tariq, nampahatsiahy ireo fanalahidin'ny hasambaran'i Tariq : |
27 | Sarmad Tariq passed away. | Lasa i Sarmad Tariq. |
28 | I knew him in the years prior to his accident. | Nahafantatra tsara azy aho, efa taona marobe talohan'ny loza nanjo azy. |
29 | He was our neighbour, my earliest memory of him was fighting a bout of boxing in his own home and his love for Rocky 4. He said the key to happiness is I) absence of complaints, II) absence of regrets, III) absence of fear and IV) a constant source of self fulfillment. | Mpifanolo-bodirindrina aminay izy, ny fahatsiarovako voalohany indrindra dia izy manovokovoka mamely ilay gony fanazarantena manao ady totohondry tao an-tranony sy ny fitiavany ny Rocky 4. Nolazainy fa ny fanalahidin'ny hasambarana dia I) tsy fisianà taraina, II) tsy fisianà nenina, III) tsy fisianà tahotra sy IV) fikatsahana tsy mitsahatra ny fahafenoan'ny tena. |
30 | I asked him once how or why he didn't regret his accident. | Indray mandeha aho nanontany azy momba ny fomba sy ny antony tsy anenenany ny loza nanjo azy. |
31 | To which he replied that had not dived into that nehar, he would have probably joined the army and would have become a mediocre officer, but instead his handicap enabled him to actualise his potential. | Ary dia novaliany fa tsy nitsoraka tao anatin'izay “nehar” izay izy, mety ho angamba nanatevina laharana ny tafika sy mety lasa manamboninahitra tsy alehany, saingy ny kilemany moa no nakanana azy tsy nahatontosany izay maha-izy azy. |
32 | On Twitter, Jehan ara, the president of Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES, wrote: | Ao amin'ny Twitter, Jehan ara, filohan'ny “Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT & ITES”, nanoratra hoe : |
33 | So sorry to hear of the demise of #SarmadTariq who proved that if one really wants to achieve something in life,there r no limitations #RIP | Tena nalahelo mafy nandre ny fahalasanan'i #SarmadTariq izay nanaporofo fa raha misy tokoa olona iray maniry hanatratra zavatra iray eo amin'ny fiainana, tsy misy ny fetra #RIP |
34 | - jehan_ara (@jehan_ara) April 30, 2014 Rai M Azlan, Global Voices Urdu Lingua co-editor, eulogized Tariq: | Nidera an'i Tariq i Rai M Azlan, tonian-dahatsoratry ny Global Voices Urdu Lingua: |
35 | Sarmad Tariq the ‘Chairman' passed away. | Lasa ny ‘Filoha' Sarmad Tariq. |
36 | He was a motivator, never let his wheelchair to become his disability. #RIPSarmadTariq | Mpanome tosika izy, tsy mba namela velively ny seza misy kodiarany ho lasa sakana ho azy. |
37 | - Rai M. | #RIPSarmadTariq |
38 | Azlan (@Mussanaf) April 30, 2014 Social media editor for newspaper The Express Tribune Ema Anis confessed in a web column that she hadn't known of Tariq until after his death, when a flood of tweets like the above mourning him took over Twitter. | Ema Anis, mpamoaka lahatsoratra ety anaty media sosialy ho an'ny gazety “The Express Tribune” dia namboraka tao anaty tsanganan-dahatsoratra iray fa tsy nahafantatra an'i Tariq izy talohan'ny nahafatesany, rehefa injay feno onjam-bitsika ho fisaonana azy nameno ny Twitter toy iretsy etsy ambony. |
39 | With her curiosity piqued, she read more about him. | Tamim-pahalinana mafy nipongatra tao anatiny, namaky misimisy kokoa momba azy izy. |
40 | What she learned left her “shaken”: | “Nanohina ny fony” izay voavakiny : |
41 | I had not seen any documentaries about him, had never heard him talk and yet, in a matter of minutes, he became the person I wanted to meet just once; someone to draw inspiration from, to find hope to go through this life and to learn to live it to the fullest. | Tsy mbola nahita antontan-kevitra mikasika azy aho, tsy mbola nandre velively azy niresaka, kanefa tao anaty minitra vitsy monja, dia lasa ho olona iray tiako raha mba nihaonako indray mandeha monja izy; olona hakàna aingam-panahy, htadiavana fanantenana ho entina mamakivaky ity fiainana ity ary hianarana miaina anaty fahafenoana. |
42 | To me, Sarmad seemed like a person who had ‘life' figured out. | Ho ahy, i Sarmad dia toy ny olona iray izay mampiseho vatana ny atao hoe “fiainana”. |
43 | He didn't just know but was constantly aware of the fact that death is imminent. | Tsy hoe nahafantatra fotsiny izy fa tonga saina mandrakariva tamin'ny hoe mety ho avy amin'ny fotoana tsy ampoizina ny fahafatesana. |
44 | He was prepared for it and wanted to make the most of every single moment of his life. | Voaomana ho amin'izany izy ary naniry ny tsy hamela handalondalo fotsiny izay fotoana bitika indrindra teo amin'ny fiainany. |
45 | And he succeeded. | Ary dia vitany. |
46 | Some on social media are considering organizing readings in Pakistan of Tariq's writings to commemorate him. | Ny sasany ety anaty media sosialy dia mihevitra ny hikarakara famakiana an-tsehatra ireo zava-boasoratr'i Tariq ho fanomezam-boninahitra azy. |
47 | In the meantime, those who want to read his writings on their own can visit Tariq's Facebook page and blog. | Mandritra izay fotoana izay, izay te-hamaky amin'ny fombany manokana ny zavatra nosoratany dia afaka mitsidika ny pejy Facebook an'i Tariq sy ny bilaoginy. |
