When I first heard that they were making ‘Aashiqui 2‘, I was very skeptical; not about the story or direction but about the music. Aashiqui had without a doubt, some of the best songs from Bollywood in that era. It was only when I heard this song, Tum Hi Ho and understood its meaning in english, I realized that maybe I was underestimating the talent that has slowly grown to maturity in last few years.

While I didn’t really think ‘Aashiqui 2’ was a great film, I will find it very hard to deny that the music didnt move me. Ironically this isnt my favorite song in the movie, but it is easily the most popular one. Here is Tum hi ho meaning and translation in english of this beautiful song:

Hindi / Hinglish Lyrics	English Meaning / Translation
Hum tere bin ab reh nahin sakte Tere bina kyaa wajood mera	I can’t survive without you now, Without you, what identity do I have…
Tujh se judaa gar ho jaayenge To khud se hi ho jaayenge judaa	If I get separated from you, I’ll be separated from myself..
Kyonki, tum hi ho Ab tum hi ho Zindagi, ab tum hi ho	Because, you are the one… Now, you are the one… My life, You are the one…
Chain bhi, meraa dard bhi Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho	My peace, my pain, My love, you are the one…

Tera mera rishta hai kaisa, Ik pal door gawaaraa nahi	What is this relationship between you and me, Even a moment of separation is unacceptable.
Tere liye har roz hain jeete, Tujh ko diyaa mera waqt sabhi.	For you, I live each day, To you, I give all my time.
Koi lamhaa mera, naa ho tere bina, Har saans pe naam tera.	There shouldn’t be a moment of mine without you, (My) Every breath has your name…
Tere liye hi jiyaa main, Khud ko jo yoon de diya hai	Only for you, I lived I have given myself (to you)
Teri wafaa ne mujh ko sambhaala Saare ghamon ko dil se nikaala	My faith in you, took care of me Took away all the sorrows from (my) heart
Tere saath mera hai naseeb judaa Tujhe paa ke adhoora naa raha	With you, my destiny is attached, Finding you, I am no longer incomplete

Kyonki, tum hi ho Ab tum hi ho Zindagi, ab tum hi ho	Because, you are the one… Now, you are the one… My life, You are the one…
Chain bhi, meraa dard bhi Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho	My peace, my pain, My love, you are the one…
