Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Now you are free
To breathe the fresh air
In the terrain of sunshine
And appraise the moonlight
Until your eyes sore dry
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Exploit your freedom
To free yourself
From the grasp of malice
And live the compassionate life
Like that of the stars in the sky
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Before you tread outside
Bury your malevolence
Beneath the four walls of the cell
And promise your heart
That you would deceive it no more
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Walk with resolute spirit
In the new journey of your life
And don’t loose your courage
To make your new dream come true
That very dream of walking in the path of truth
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Turn your deaf ear to those,
Who abuses you, and turn your head off
From those, who gives you a dismal looks
But saunter in the path of humanity with compassion
And one day, those very people will applause you
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Don’t think yourself as a lesser being
And don’t be ashamed of your prior deeds
But learn from your grave mistakes
And notify your neo- meditative heart,
That you would never make such mistakes again
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Shower the seeds of love and gratitude to all
And like the rainbow, embrace the heart of humanity
With your serene demeanor and prove your credentials
To your own soul, then march ahead in the path of god
With vivacious heart compressed with the grandeur of love
Oh! Prisoner, my friend
Now you are not a prisoner
You are a free man with free life
Oh! My friend
Enjoy your freedom and employ it
To make this world free from maladies
