Kashmir is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on their sixth studio album Physical Graffiti, released on February 24, 1975.
The song was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, with significant contributions from John Bonham, who co-wrote the track due to his crucial drumming, though he did not receive a formal writing credit initially.
The composition originated from a jam session at Headley Grange in 1973, when John Paul Jones was late, and Page and Bonham developed the foundational riff and rhythm together.
Page used a custom guitar tuning of D–A–D–G–A–D, and the song features a complex interplay of triple and quadruple meters, with the guitar riff in triple time and the vocals in quadruple time.

Lyrics:
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race
This world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

[Verse 2]
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Breakdown]
Ooh
Oh, baby, I been flying
No, yeah, mama, there ain't no denying
Oh, ooh, yes, I've been flying
Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find, where I've been

[Verse 3]
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When movin' through Kashmir

[Verse 4]
Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-ohh, oh
Oh
Ohh
[Outro]
Oh, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way you stay, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh, oh, come on, come on
Oh, let me take you there, let me take you there
Ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah
Let me take you there, let me take you there...
