Why shouldn't you take pride, since you have won the heart of Dagh? If this wealth had not come into your hands, you would not have had this honor.
Daagh brings his signature wit and playful self-praise to life in this charming couplet. He teases his beloved, saying that her pride is entirely justified—after all, winning the heart of a poet like Daagh is no ordinary feat. By comparing his heart to an invaluable treasure, he lovingly flatters her while slyly reminding her that her elevated status and glory come from having captured him.
