The meaning of the couplet is, "If there is a paradise on earth then it is here, it is here, it is here in Kashmir"

Babar's simple coulplet on the beauty of Kashmir - a verse written in history which holds true even today. Despite the past few years of turmoil and unfortunate disturbance in the valley of Kashmir - its beauty remains as if unfazed by the happenings around it, it remains as mystifyingly beautiful as ever.
