“Haan Tum Ho” is a soulful, minimalist ballad from the 2020 film Love Aaj Kal. In a movie that explores the complexities of modern love versus the nostalgia of the past, this song serves as a quiet declaration of eternal belonging. The lyrics suggest that whether the beloved is physically present or silent, they remain an inseparable part of the singer’s existence.
The song reunites the blockbuster “musical trinity” of Bollywood: composer Pritam, lyricist Irshad Kamil, and singer Arijit Singh. Arijit’s performance is particularly noteworthy for its restraint; he starts with a near-whisper, mirroring the “khamoshi” (silence) mentioned in the lyrics, before building into a powerful vow. It is a song about finding home in someone else’s shadow.

हाँ तुम हो (Hindi Lyrics):
हाँ तुम हो, ना तुम हो
तुम हो ख़ामोशी मेरी
चाहे बोलो या ना बोलो
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
मेरे रास्ते को तुम चुरा के
अब राह में अपनी मिला दो
जहाँ मिल सके साया तुम्हारा
वहीं साथ में थोड़ी जगह दो
तुम जहाँ कहोगी वहीं पे मिलूँगा
मैं यक़ीन हूँ तेरे साथ ही रहूँगा
तेरा होके, तेरा बनके
तुम हो तो मैं हूँगा
रहनी ज़रूरत तेरी
चाहे बोलो या ना बोलो
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
तुम तो रहोगी…
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी
तुम तो रहोगी मेरी।
Haan Tum Ho (Tum To Rahogi Meri) Romanized Lyrics:
(Chorus)
Haan Tum Ho, Naa Tum Ho
Tum Ho Khamoshi Meri
Chaahey Bolo Ya Naa Bolo

Tum To Rahogi Meri
Tum To Rahogi Meri

Mere Raastey Ko Tum Choora Ke
Ab Raaha Main Apni Milaa Do
Jahan Mil Sakey Saayaa Tumharaa
Vahi Sath Main Thodi Jagah Do

Tum Jaha Kahogi Vahi Pey Milunga
Main Yakeen Hu Tere Sath He Rahunga
Tera Hokey, Tera Bankey
Tum Ho To Main Hounga
Rehni Zarurat Teri
(Chorus)
Chaahey Bolo Ya Naa Bolo
Tum To Rahogi Meri
Tum To Rahogi Meri
Tum To Rahogi…
Tum To Rahogi Meri
Tum To Rahogi Meri
Key Lyrics Meaning:
- “Tum Ho Khamoshi Meri”: This poetic line by Irshad Kamil translates to “You are my silence.” It implies that the person is so deeply integrated into the singer’s life that they are present even in moments of quiet.
- “Mere Raastey Ko Tum Choora Ke”: “Steal my paths and merge them into yours.” This is a beautiful way of asking to surrender one’s individual journey to a shared destiny.
