jaise ghadi ke gihra se waqt kahi pe ghira ho
jaise roshni subah se ho jaye juda
jaise gane aur nazam se sur koi chura le
waise aadha adhoora mai hu tere bina
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu
na thi kami na justaju ru tu ru tu
aur aadhe aadhe pal huye phir poore yu
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu

khali jo raat ho
mai khwabo chand taro se wo poori bar du
teri jo baat ho
mai bin kahe hi aadhi pauni poori kar du
jo aadhe se hum hai, wo poore ho tumse
na jane ye sauda bhi kab tay huya
adhoore se kisse, barabar ke hisse
tu dil to mai dua
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu
na thi kami na justaju ru tu ru tu
aur aadhe aadhe pal huye phir poore yu
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu

kal tu jo khoyi ho
to gumshuda ye zindagi basar kar du
manzil jo soyi ho
to khwab sare tere hi nazar kar du
to aadhe se dil ko jo laayegi bhi to
mai sau khwahiso se hi bar dunga vo
kare na ye tu tu, abhi ke abhi tu
to aake aazma
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu
na thi kami na justaju ru tu ru tu
aur aadhe aadhe pal huye phir poore yu
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu

jaise ghadi ke gihra se waqt kahi pe gira ho
jaise roshni subah se ho jaaye judaa
jaise gane aur nazam se sur ko hi chura le
waise aadha adhoora mai hu tere bina
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu
na thi kami na justaju ru tu ru tu
aur aadhe aadhe pal huye phir poore yu
jab mila tu, ru tu ru tu
jab mila tu

As time, from the clock's deep well, is somehow bound,
As light departs from dawn's embrace,
As song and verse lose their sweetest sound,
So incomplete am I, without your grace.
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
No want remained, no quest anew, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
And halves of moments, then, were made whole through,
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu.

If nights are empty, bare and stark,
I'd fill them with dreams of moon and stars,
If you speak, a whispered mark,
I'd complete your tale, erasing all the scars.
From halves of us, a wholeness we attain,
When this bargain of the heart was sealed,
From incomplete tales, a shared refrain,
You, the heart, I, the prayer revealed.
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
No want remained, no quest anew, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
And halves of moments, then, were made whole through,
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu.

If tomorrow, you are lost to me,
This life, I'd surrender, lost in woe,
If dreams lie dormant, silently,
Your dreams alone, my gaze would bestow.
If a half-heart you bring to me,
With a hundred wishes, I'd fill the space,
Don't delay, oh, come and see,
Come, and my love, now embrace.
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
No want remained, no quest anew, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
And halves of moments, then, were made whole through,
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu.

As time, from the clock's deep well, is somehow bound,
As light departs from dawn's embrace,
As song and verse lose their sweetest sound,
So incomplete am I, without your grace.
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
No want remained, no quest anew, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
And halves of moments, then, were made whole through,
When you arrived, Ruh Tu, Ruh Tu,
When you arrived.
