If the beloved takes time to become familiar and close, what fault is in that? It is precisely these charming ways of theirs that I am completely enamored with.

In love, hesitation is often mistaken for coldness, but here the poet celebrates it as the beloved's greatest charm. To be 'dair-aashna' means taking one's time to open up and connect, and rather than seeing this reserve as a flaw, the lover finds it utterly bewitching. It shows that true affection does not rush; it is precisely this coy reluctance and slow unfolding of intimacy that makes the beloved worth dying for.
