In the valley of Kashmir, where beauty lies, Majestic mountains touch the skies. Lush green meadows and crystal lakes, A paradise on earth, for heaven's sake.

The Dal Lake shimmers in the moonlight, Reflecting the stars, a mesmerizing sight. Chinar trees sway in the gentle breeze, Whispering tales of ancient mysteries.

Snow-capped peaks stand tall and proud, A silent guardian, amidst the clouds. The fragrance of saffron fills the air. A reminder of a land so rare.

But beneath the beauty, lies a tale of woe, Of conflict and strife, that continues to grow. Yet amidst the turmoil, hope still thrives, In the hearts of those who strive.

For Kashmir, with its beauty and pain, Will rise again, like a phoenix from the flame. A land of resilience, courage, and grace, A symbol of hope in a troubled place.
