O friend, we do not fear the prison even if there be a hundred thousand dungeons; in our frenzy, we have broken free just like the wailing cry of chains.
The poet tells us that true passion and fervor can never be restrained, no matter how many prison walls try to box it in.

In this state of ecstatic junoon, the self transcends all physical cages to become an unstoppable voice.
