The moment Dagh received a little favor or attention, he became conceited; it would truly be enjoyable now if someone were to treat him with cruelty again.

Here, Dagh Dehlvi captures the playful and teasing dynamic of romance with his trademark wit. The moment the beloved showed him a little affection or indulged him, the lover instantly became vain and puffed up with pride. With a sly smile, the poet suggests that the real fun now lies in the beloved acting cruel and indifferent again, puncturing his ego and reigniting the delightful push-and-pull of courtship.
