An eye-opener composition by Kumar Gandharv, this song penetrates into sagacious wisdom remarking on the ephemeral nature of human life. Hailing, 'it will fly all alone, the swan' metaphors the human spirit as a free-flying swan, untouched by materialism and living solely without any linkages. Kabir cautions us about our transient existence which we fritter mindlessly. He warns, that as a dry leaf falls from a tree making it difficult for both, the tree and leaf to convene again, the same happens with human life. The life spirit on leaving this body too makes it arduous for mortals to meet the world and its worldliness. He alerts us about death, which breaks all our momentary relations, making us leave behind this world as a fleeting fair between life and death. Forth, glorifying the qualities of the lord, Kabir states him as the one boundless and sums up with the theme of Karma. He asserts that the Guru gets his part of the doing whereas the disciple, receives his. The world irrespective of any disparity earns the fruit of his sown seeds and conclusively feeds on it all alone.
Taped in the 2017 yatra's morning Satsang midst the dunes of Barmer, listen to this soul-lifting Nirgun Bhajan in the mellifluous voice of Vedanth Bharadwaj.

Translation:
It will fly alone, the swan
This world, sight of a carnival
Alike a leaf falling from a tree
Meeting again is tough
Know not, where it will fall
Taken by a gust of wind
When the age is completed
when you lose ruling and following
The messenger of death, very mighty
I tangled with death itself
Servant Kabir, sings the qualities of Hari
I find no limit to him
The doing of the master, the master goes by
The doing of the disciple, the disciple
