Step-by-step explanation:

Kabir was the poet and saint who primarily influenced the Bhakti movement in India. In the poem written by Kabir, 'Swan' represents mortality. It means that after the completion of the earthly life, the person dies. It is after the death that the soul leaves the body of the person and flies to another world. He defines it as a yet another journey which the 'swan' which symbolizes soul has to cover after living the life on the earth.
