 Piraye's mother Nurhayat
 
 
 Nâzım framed the portrait of Orhan Kemal by the following lines written by his friend on occasion of his departure from the Bursa prison:
 
 COMIC FREEDOMyes it means
 it means three days later
 yes
 what you call
 " Comic and sweet
 F R E E D O M ! "
 " My most liked master
 my soul! "
 
 To leave the concrete,the iron and the dusty bulbs to others!
 
 yes
 this freedom,
 the bell, creaking locks, and guardians
 the yearning to leave all of these in behind!
 
 But to look at you
 standing under the blue skies
 to leave you in the prison.
 
 without iron and lock
 without dust on the bulbs and no guardians
 in a different prison I shall be.
 
 Yes
 this freedom you call
 COMIC!
 
 Trains come and go
 you can set your shadow on the street you want...
 
 Which freedom?
 Leave it my friend!
 O you blessed master of mine!..
