Kashmir Revisited

Oh sweet paradise on Earth, Kashmir fills my eyes with beauty

Your every tender caress is worth, a billion mountains in rupees

Saffron-scented air cascades, through majestic patch-work walls

Where hand-knotted silk carpets lay, and hanging Pashmina woven shawls

Snow-capped Himalayan mountains crawl, along the northeastern Kashmir valley

Where Monks tucked in their viharas dwell,

Their secrets known only to the goddess Kali

Lord Shiva takes command,

Over Katpana desert sands,

Oh you must understand,

The glory of this golden land

Lord Krishna takes command,

With henna painted hands,

Stop to understand,

The majesty of this land

Ohhhh ohhh oh, Kashmir

Oh glorious women of Kashmir, your wonders I do seek

Whisper treasures into my ear,

As through bejeweled Tarangan eyes you peek

Lord Shiva takes command,

Over Katpana desert sands,

Oh you must understand,

The glory of this golden land

Lord Krishna takes command,

With henna painted hands,

Stop to understand,

The majesty of this land

Ohhhh ohhh oh, Kashmir

Oh sweet paradise on Earth, Kashmir fills my eyes with beauty

Your every tender caress is worth, a billion mountains in rupees

Lord Shiva takes command,

Over Katpana desert sands,

Oh you must understand,

The glory of this golden land

Lord Krishna takes command,

With henna painted hands,

Stop to understand,

The majesty of this land

Ohhhh ohhh oh, Kashmir

Ohhhh ohh oh, Kashmir

Ohh oh ohhh oh ohh oh
