meraa nam hai umar jani khaaon roti inglistani
dekhu roj filme hindi mai bhi kaisa chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani khaaon roti inglistani
dekhu roj filme hindi mai bhi kaisa chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani

nikal pade hain ladne ko ham apna sina tane
apna sina tane
pas hamare kya hai yaro yeh toh duniya jane
yeh toh duniya jane
dhokha de gaye chau-en-layi mere maula ki duhayi
maine yaar inko samjha mai bhi kaisa chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani khaaon roti inglistani
dekhu roj filme hindi mai bhi kaisa chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani

goli videshi kam na aayi havayi jahaj nikale havayi
havayi jahaj nikale havayi
paitan nagar bana bharat me pad gayi ulti ladayi
pad gayi ulti ladayi
lene gaye the ham kashmir vapas aa gaye jaise tir
mujhko maaf karna bhayi
mai toh thahara chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani khaaon roti inglistani
dekhu roj filme hindi mai bhi kaisa chhappadkhani
meraa nam hai umar jani

My name is Omar, a name you know,
I eat English bread, you see, and so,
Watch Hindi films with daily grace,
A fractured soul in this lonely space.
My name is Omar, a name you know.

We march to fight, our chests held high,
Our chests held high, beneath the sky.
What we possess, the world will see,
This secret kept for you and me.
Betrayal's sting, by Chou En-Lai,
My Lord's lament, a mournful cry.
I trusted them, the foolish me,
A fractured soul, wild and free.
My name is Omar, a name you know,
I eat English bread, you see, and so,
Watch Hindi films with daily grace,
A fractured soul in this lonely space.
My name is Omar, a name you know.

Foreign bullets, could not prevail,
The planes took flight, against the gale,
The planes took flight, against the gale.
A Paton town, on Indian ground,
A battle turned, the other way around.
To Kashmir gone, then back we flew,
Like arrows swift, our journey through.
Forgive me, friends, for all I've done,
I am the fractured one.
My name is Omar, a name you know,
I eat English bread, you see, and so,
Watch Hindi films with daily grace,
A fractured soul in this lonely space.
My name is Omar, a name you know.
