Hello Uncle Cruise,
Could you please tell me what is the meaning of "Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin asto" ? I have heard these lines in Bollywood movies.
Shankar

Shankar,
This is famous couplet written in Persian language to praise the beauty of Kashmir valley. The valley of Kashmir, in which Srinagar is located, is also referred to as being a heaven on earth.
The Mughal emperor Jahangir was so captivated by the beauty of this valley that he exclaimed -
"Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin asto" (If there is a heaven on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here).
Looking for something just Ask Uncle Cruise from Contact Us Page on Right side.
