ਵੈਦਾ ਵੈਦੁ ਸੁਵੈਦੁ ਤੂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਰੋਗੁ ਪਛਾਣੁ
O physician at all the physicians you are the greatest if you are able to say what an illness is before seeing it?

ਐਸਾ ਦਾਰੂ ਲੋੜਿ ਲਹੁ ਜਿਤੁ ਵੰਞੈ ਰੋਗਾ ਘਾਣਿ ॥
The person is only afflicted by illness through the will of the Lord and for this you are looking for a cure so that the illness will disappear. The illness of separation is found in every vein.

With such medicine all afflictions disappear and the person finds peace.

ਰੋਗੁ ਗਵਾਇਹਿ ਆਪਣਾ ਤ ਨਾਨਕ ਵੈਦੁ ਸਦਾਇ ॥੨॥
You yourself are ill initially if you are able to diagnose your own illness then only after that can you call yourself a physician. 2.
