The verb plus jaana: carried to the result
The second completion frame adds jaana — to go — to the verb: the deed goes all the way. Gal jaana — to rot away; bhool jaana — to forget entirely; khatam ho jaana — to end completely. For example: “بجلی چلی گئی اور کام رک گیا” — The light went out and the work stopped. A rule from the Urdu course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
The second completion frame adds jaana — to go — to the verb: the deed goes all the way. Gal jaana — to rot away; bhool jaana — to forget entirely; khatam ho jaana — to end completely.
Where le liya said "the deed was done", jaana says "the thing changed state and will not come back": badal jaana. To change for good. Ruk jaana — to stop dead. The movement of "going" is the finality.
Both frames can ride in one sentence: chaai thandi ho gayi thi, magar us ne pi li. The tea had gone cold, but he drank it all the same. The state changed (ho gayi), and the deed was completed (pi li).

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
