Everything the Heart Was Reaching For

ਸਭੇ ਇਛਾ ਪੂਰੀਆ ਜਾ ਪਾਇਆ ਅਗਮ ਅਪਾਰਾ ॥
sabhay ichhaa pooree-aa jaa paa-i-aa agam apaaraa.
All desires are fulfilled, when the Inaccessible and Infinite Lord is obtained.
ਗੁਰੁ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਤੇਰਿਆ ਚਰਣਾ ਕਉ ਬਲਿਹਾਰਾ ॥੪॥੧॥੪੭॥
gur naanak mili-aa paarbarahm tayri-aa charnaa ka-o balihaaraa. ||4||1||47||
Guru Nanak has met the Supreme Lord God; I am a sacrifice to Your Feet. ||4||1||47||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

When the boundless One is found, every real longing of the heart is answered.

Meeting that greatness, I would give anything just to be near — grateful all the way down.

When the One is found, the heart's real longings are answered.
The deeper layer

sabhay ichhaa pooree-aa jaa paa-i-aa agam apaaraa — all wishes fulfilled on finding the unreachable, infinite One; gur naanak mili-aa paarbarahm... charnaa ka-o balihaaraa — meeting the Supreme, a sacrifice to the feet. The fulfillment the whole shabad has been leaning toward.

A Question to Sit With

What is a longing in you that you hope will one day be answered?
