I,
Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell I see days, months,
years change to eons, From the soil of this land I can smell my Bauji's
fields, The burning sun reminds me of my Maati's cool buttermilk , The
rains come with the swings of many seasons , The winter fills me with the
warmth of the Lodi fires , They say this isn't your country, then why does it
feel like mine? They say that I do not look like him, then why does he
look like me? I, Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell, I
see an angel who has come down from heaven, She calls herself Saamiya, and she
calls me Veer, She's a complete stranger, but she treats me as her family,
Hearing her truthful words, I feel alive once again , Hearing her promises and
vow, I want to do something more, They say she isn't related, then why does she
fight the world for me? They say I'm not like her, then why does she look like
me?. I, Prisoner No. 786, look through the bars of my cell, I see my Zaara
wrapped in the colours of my village , In making my dreams come true, she has
forgotten her own, In serving my people, she has left behind her own, Now I
want to fill her heart with joy, I feel I could live another lifetime for her,
They say my country is not hers, then why does she stay in my home? They
say I'm not like her, then why does she look like me?. I, Prisoner No. 786,
look through the bars of my cell...
