The only name comes to mind with world renowned warrior/king from current Pakistan are King Porus , Maharajah Ranjeet Singh and Hari Singh Nalwa and they are non Muslims ....
Your point doesn't make any sense. If you want to look at it from an ethnic perspective, then look at all Punjabis, regardless of religion. if you want to look at it from a Muslim perspective, then look at all Muslims, regardless of ethnicity. You can't pick both.
No king/warrior from South Asia is "world-renowned", other than maybe Akbar (who came from Umerkot) and Ashoka (who came from somewhere in India, don't know the specifics though).
The only reason you can't think of any other rulers/warriors is because you're either lying to try and anger people or you simply don't know history. Let me help you out:
Sarang Khan, ruled over parts of northern Punjab and earned the title of "Sultan" for helping Babur in his conquests. Died bravely while fighting against Suri the usurper:

Muqarrab Khan, also ruled over parts of northern Punjab and fought under Ahmed Shah Durrani:

Ahmed Khan Karral, Punjabi anti-Sikh Empire and anti-colonial freedom fighter who ruled over a small amount of land in the Punjab:

Muhammad Saleh Kamboh, Mughal noble who commanded 500 soldiers:

Shabbir Sharif, the most decorated soldier in the history of the Pakistani army:

And of course, like it or not, the Muslim Mysoreans originated from the Punjab:

There are even more I can name if you wish (but I'll refrain from some of them since they'll make you cry if I mention them and I don't really support their actions).
To top it all off, most Punjabi tribes/clans are either descended from the Muslim conquerors (e.g Awans), or come from tribes/clans with a rich military history (e.g Rajputs). Not to mention the number of Punjabis with (partial) Pashtun or Baloch ancestry (and I'm one of them, as is @OsmanAli98 ). And Lahore itself has been a major seat of Islamic power in the region for centuries, with it acting as a prominent city for almost every major Muslim empire of the region.
