I am in prison house,
And it is you
Who put me in.
The reason -
Best known to you.
Often I think,
I am free,
And I feel
Chain is everywhere,
Inside and outside.
In the prison
I utter words,
But I am being cheated
By the reality of life.
Who am I?
I asked the earth,
And the earth remained
Silent, keeping in view
General public interest.
In the prison,
I feel not dead,
This is your greatness.
In the prison,
I enjoy the life as
A living entity,
My achievement.
And I know
You are my guide,
And you are
The superintendent
Of this prison.
You are responsible for
Any loopholes and not I.
My stars and my planet
Are here with me,
And I am free, as you said
Both inside and outside,
I am free to do anything,
But you said I am here
To face the consequences.
I am in prison,
And here everything is mine.
