Outlandish’s Latest Video: Kom Igen
Published by Haseeb March 10th, 2006 in Music
Outlandish recently released their latest video from Closer Than Veins, Kom Igen.
Its a fast-paced rap featuring lyrics in English, Danish, Spanish, Urdu, and Arabic. I’m going to have to admit, you’re going to have to listen carefully to keep up with the lyrics.
Here’s a clip of Kom Igen (Waqas’ Urdu Rap):

Kom Igen: Complete Lyrics
Try to learn every single ayat
So my soul in front of Allah 
, gon’ be smelling good
To that moment I be definitely making my move
In it for the money? Nah man, I’m in it for the truth
Ain’t about any gold or the ice
Sneaks and clothes is just part of the hype
MTV sucks big time
Cribs and bling - get a real life …
But wow – take a minut or 2
Why we spending so much money man that we don’t have boo
Every tiny detail, we gotta have kid!
Every kind of device to make us look rich
Hollywood, magazines, videos
Escaping anything & anyone away we go
In it sickening enough that we don’t really care
In it sickening of that we don’t wanna share
Wish for my brother what a wish for my self
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
”get rich or die tryin’” who ever said it was poor
don’t they ever gon’ learn from the farao in gold
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Wish for my brother what a wish for my self
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Hey hvorfor er det lige du tror du kender mig
A shabi rasi hrakni
Så jeg venter bare på du kommer med en kommentar
Nogen burde sku bare klap i
For der er mange som der misforstår, når vi går
Render rundt og tror vi alle bistand får
YO hold lige
Kan vi ikke få nogle argumenter med noget hold i
Så må i heller komme igen med noget bedre
For jeg ser det mange steder
Læser osse om det når jeg sidder, og tjekker det på tv men jeg gider ikke sige hvad de hedder
Og de allerede ved at forberede nye ting
Siger det kun fordi jeg kan være det bekendt
Og de er allerede ved at forberede syge ting
I må heller kom med et bedre argument
Og jeg sidder og læser avisen, tænker hvorfor skriver de
Nogle ting om og om igen
For i denne verden som vi lever i
Må vi heller’ bare kom igen
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Wish for my brother what a wish for my self
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Moro get this Moro get that
Break your ego coz we don’t need that
M-R en medio O
O termina MORO ohhh
Que no te atrape la locura del dinero
Vender unidades solo ser un pesetero
Si no me gusta lo que hago y lo gozo
Si me muero de amargura no hay negocio
En cuanto a como hay que hacerlo todos tienen comentarios
Si no sabes a donde vas regresa pa’ saber de donde vienes
En lo oscuro el alma es lo único que tienes
Ojos que no ven Corazón que nunca siente?
El juego comienza su trampa en tu mente
Translation
[Don’t let the craziness of money get to you
Sell more, only be a money lover
If I don’t like what I’m doing and don’t enjoy it
I’ll die of sorrow and there will be no business
Everybody has a comment on how you do things
But if you don’t know where you’re going
You have to go back and see where you came from
In darkness your soul is all you have
Out of sight, out of mind
The game is setting a trap for your mind]
Who’s gonna put this demon on hold
A to the DL to cold
These days your ego’s too bold
Eating diamonds and gold
I got a nooz and a lasso right here
I got a whip that’ll hit you right there
It’s time to rush with no fear
It’s time to crush and prepare
Follow the leader but the leader is a jerk
That’s him in the corner with a smirk
He’s a devil and he’s making me work
I used to be calm until I went bezerk……
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Kom Igen Kom Igen
Kom igen du min elskede ven
Wish for my brother what a wish for my self
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Ek dafa tu yaha a ke dekh
Kuch lamhe tu bhi zara sah ke dekh
Kabhi apni aan or shaan ko rakh ker bande raah ja
Dard ho ga sahna
Door ho ga rahna
To bole mere naina
Kiya kehna hai
Inke bare me
Jo peete hai ghareeb ka khoon paseena
Dekhe hai aise meh ne beshoomar
Udh kehya hai is duniya se mera ehtebaar
Come on
Kidar jaye ka kidar haad pehlai ka
Kabhi na kabhi tu us ke samne girgary ka
Tobaa tu kare ka to ho ki teri qabool
Mafii teri mane rakhe ki hoga maqbool
Tere pass hi aye ke hum
Tera sivar or kidar ja sake ke hum
Karr de karam take mera reh jeye baram
Jana hai door tera noor manzil hai koh-hi toor
Translation
[Just once try walking in these shoes
Try to feel some of these moments
Put away your ego and pride and stay without
Pain you will have to suffer
Far away you will have to stay
My eyes they say
What should I say about those who suck out the blood and sweat of the poor
I’ve seen endless cases
I’ve lost faith in this world
Where will you go
Where will you plead for help
Sooner or later you will beg in front of him
If you prepend you will be heard
If you sincerely feel remorse it will be manifested
To you shall we return
Where else can we go
Show mercy so in front of you I’ll not be humiliated
So far to go to reach your light
My destination is Kooh-I-toor]
Koli ya Ibaddalah
shal mena baqi gasoem
I msiw fiha
Moeta dahya
Ken soefoe rwina
Ktila, honsoria
Hbebna eichin f tamara
Bleh mekla, bleh hoqoq
El qalb mahrok ma bqasi
Ki doq
Ken soef el fok oen soef fe sma
Tleb men Allah I hfadna m’nar
Ma Tiqsi b’zahr. Tiqa f Allah
Dagla djell gna ma ket shres
B’dinar, dollar, euro, tasi maqdar
Hedi hial agbar men maqbar
Allah oe Akbar
Translation
[Tell me, people of God
How many of us have to die in cold blood
Innocent victims, ruins and prisons
Murderers killing as well, even racism.
Look at our countries, nothing but poverty
No food, no rights, my heart stays empty
I look unto the sky and ask God for His mercy
Protect us from hell and Satan’s conspiracy
You can’t buy your ways into heaven
No Dinar, no Dollar, no Euro will do nothing, could save you
This is a message from the grave, Allah is Great!]

Is the Pakistani guy wearing a dupatta at the end?
lol i think so
GREAT!!!!!!!! I love Outlandish… And on 8 of April Sami Yusuf will come to Germany, near my home town Stuttgart… I can´t wait to see him…
Greetings to you Haseeb..
I will answer you soon… Khuda hafiz
Yeah what is with Waqas and the dupatta/shawl over his head? Danish and Urdu rap sound so strange. LOL. V R&B video. Mash-Allah
nice to see Haseeb is so eloquent in all the languages so he can translate the lyrics for us. 
(jks)
Are you on Outlandish’s payroll?
JK. This is a great video. I’m actually liking the Urdu part.
outlandish rule-thought the shawl thing was a bit weird
I think the shawl was cool, a bit outlandish, dont you think?
the video is just good but i was disappointed that it is a shorter version of the song on the album.
i mean, i’ve heard the song, but w/ the video and the lyrics right there, it just makes it a lot more amazing.
dude, you have fans all over the world…i’m jealous.
wiked song, but a wierd video.. waqas luks like a girl
the best song and the best group in the world, weird video tho but a sik song
Yo! The video doesn’t have the arabic part thats in the song! At the end where they all say Allahu Akbar! They cut that and another part out - its a conspiracy I tell you..
Oh and Waqas your sister called - she wants her dupatta back…
tehe….thanx for transcribing and translating…woah woah, how wrong was i!!? sending u the wrong urdu rap lyrics!!!!!!!! vid is fantabulous!!!!
u hae some mad fans brother
salam all-
first, i must say to haseeb, this is a really great site, and i’m impressed by your ability to keep it up-to-date with tons of interesting things.
second, haseeb, if you want a “truth is on the side of the oppressed” shirt (grey malcolm x shirt that isam is sportin in the video), please let me know. insha Allah
all proceeds from the shirts will go to a palestinian cause — or quite possibly to help support a delegation to palestine this summer. the shirts are available in both short and long sleeve and in S, M, L, and XL (men’s sizes).
salam from chicago.
hey… leave waqas alone, the patu thing was the guys 1, not the lady style dupatta or wateva… =P on his shoulder itwas aiit, on his head not really… =D
see the thing is, wat they were wearing in this vid is real symbolic, isam wit da kufi, waqas wit da patu (afghans call it tht, dunno bout the rest of u ppl) n lenny wit da cross…
but the prob wit da vid is it was a bit 2 dancy… n it didn’t hav those li’l stories tht come in music vids, i lyk em lil stories…heheheheh…
btw, wats wit da code verification?
its called a dupatta in urdu
the code verification is to prevent spam. Since i added this, ive received no spam comments at all. Before i used to get like 5-10 spam comments a day!
Salaams,
Firstly, i’ve got to say that this is a fantastic website! Absolutely love ‘Closer Than Veins’ - and really appreciate you putting up the lyrics to ‘Kom Igen’. It finally makes sense to me! I knew it’d be something beautiful though (of course!). However, I was really disappointed with the shortened version of the song in the video(oh well… :|). Waqas and the dupatta is a tad outlandish, but hey, i’m sure it has some purpose!
By the way, where may I purchase the “truth is on the side of the oppressed” t-shirts in the UK?
salam Gihad,
could you explane me more about that Tshirt issue? i live in Italy but i would like to know more about that! i linked my e-mail address.
thanks a lot,
Veronica
PS: this video shows how even an Hip Hop track can rock just without any kind of “bling bling” and stuff. Outlandish are really the best.
Assalamualaikum
Holy cheese! I love it. I love their album. Their songs are amazing.
=)
Fuzzy
yeh aiit bro haseeb… didn’t kno ppl bothered spamming u. man sum ppl need 2 get a life…
anyway. yeh i kinda knew tht ‘dupatta’ thing, but i was always under the impression tht only the lady’s 1, lyk wat comes wit the shalwar qamees n all tht, is called a dupatta… in afghan only the men’s 1 is referred 2 as a patu.
thanks for the clarification, btw.
ojj people, I found a great site about outlandish on nett..
check it out
it’s http://www.Outlandmoro.piczo.com
go to this site people
http://www.outlandmoro.piczo.com
eaa! That track is siiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccckkkk! That what im talking about.
Salam everyone….
I couldn’t see the video yet…my Media player sucks!!!but I did saw Waqas with the dupatta…funny but then it reflects where he come from..so there…I’m gonna try to watch the video again later….This song is really great….
Moro 4 life
Salam everyone
I finally saw it…it was great..true there’s no underlying story-theme thingy going on..but the whole video as a whole is just great…it was dissapointing that the Arabic rap wasn’t included…the whole videowould be better…
the best thing about outlandish????they are prove that Muslim(moro) can live peacefuly with non-muslim..e.g: Waqas & Isam (Muslim) + Lenny (non-muslim) = OUTLANDISH…and they are doing great…keep up the good work guys…
Moro 4 life
Hey.. here’s a quick translation of the danish part.
The rapper is USU and he’s the most rapid in DK
Hey hvorfor er det lige du tror du kender mig
A shabi rasi hrakni
Så jeg venter bare på du kommer med en kommentar
Nogen burde sku bare klap i
For der er mange som der misforstår, når vi går
Render rundt og tror vi alle bistand får
YO hold lige
Kan vi ikke få nogle argumenter med noget hold i
Så må i heller komme igen med noget bedre
For jeg ser det mange steder
Læser osse om det når jeg sidder, og tjekker det på tv men jeg gider ikke sige hvad de hedder
Og de allerede ved at forberede nye ting
Siger det kun fordi jeg kan være det bekendt
Og de er allerede ved at forberede syge ting
I må heller kom med et bedre argument
Og jeg sidder og læser avisen, tænker hvorfor skriver de
Nogle ting om og om igen
For i denne verden som vi lever i
Må vi heller’ bare kom igen
translation:
Hey why is it you think you know me?
A shabi rasi hrakni
So I just wait for you to come with a comment
Somebody should just shut up
’cause there’s many who misunderstands when we go
Walks (runs) around thinking we’re all on social security
YO stop a secound
Can’t we get some arguments with some substance
You may wanna come up with something better
‘Cause I see it so many places
Læser osse om det når jeg sidder, og tjekker det på tv men jeg gider ikke
Read about it too when I’m sitting tjekking (?) TV but I don’t want to
say their names
And they are allready preparing new stof
(I) Only say it cause I dont need to be ashamed of it (not accurate, but the expression dont exist in english)
And they’re allready preparing sich things
You may wanna come up with a better argument
And I sit and read the paper thinking why do they write
Some things over and over again
‘Cause in this world we live in
We better come again
chorus:
Come again Come again
Come again you my beloved friend
Come again Come again
Come again you my beloved friend
Wish for my brother what a wish for my self
Try to love the world less, put my ego to rest
Peace to all
Eva
salam
i love this song once again. Mashallah keep it up guess…..dude those of you worrying about what he was wearing, get over it, listen to the song…i don’t think thats what the guys (outlandish) wanted us talking about i mean i don’t want to sound like i cant have fun, but these guys work so hard and all we talk about is what they were wearing….the whole song was talking about puting our egos aside, he doesn’t care what you think about what he was wearign!
anyways….sorry if i offended anyone. i have a question though, where is the araby part coming from….is it on the CD or is it just like idk
