ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮਿ ਨਿਬਾਹੀ ਪੂਰੀ ॥
paarbarahm nibaahee pooree.
The Supreme Lord God has stood by me and fulfilled me,
ਕਾਈ ਬਾਤ ਨ ਰਹੀਆ ਊਰੀ ॥
kaa-ee baat na rahee-aa ooree.
and nothing is left unfinished.
ਗੁਰਿ ਚਰਨ ਲਾਇ ਨਿਸਤਾਰੇ ॥

Attached to the Guru's feet, I am saved;
ਹਰਿ ਹਰਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਾਰੇ ॥੧॥
har har naam samHaaray. ||1||
I contemplate and cherish the Name of the Lord, Har, Har. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One stood by me and carried me all the way through -- nothing was left half-finished.
Held to the teaching, I was lifted; I hold the Name close and treasure it.
What the One begins in you, He carries all the way to the end.
Paarbarahm nibaahee pooree -- the One saw it through to completion. Kaa-ee baat na rahee-aa ooree -- nothing left lacking; grace does not start something and abandon it half-done.
A Question to Sit With
What is something unfinished you would like to see carried all the way through?
