The Swan flies away

The Swan Will Fly Away All Alone,
Spectacle of the World Will Be a Mere Fair
As the Leaf Falls from the Tree
Is Difficult to Find
5 Who Knows Where it Will Fall
Once it is Struck with a Gust Of Wind
When Life Span is Complete
Then Listening to Orders, Following Others, Will Be Over
The Messengers of Yama are Very Strong
10 It’s an Entanglement with the Yama
Servant Kabir Praises the Attributes of the Lord
He Finds the Lord Soon
Guru Will Go According to His Doings
The Disciple According to His!

Answer:

randomness in the world

Step-by-step explanation:

Kabir, the poet, illustrates that our life is conditioned by uncertainties. Our bodies face the hardhip of the environment and also the orders from others. This means that our bodies are affected by biological matters we cannot control and our desires are controlled by other people. Therefore, we are not the true owners of our body and desires. We cannot tell what will happen to us.
