Dagh puts on airs and acts haughty even with his beloved; no one knows what strange whim has entered his mind.
Daagh brings his signature playfulness and cheeky charm to this couplet, turning the typical dynamic of love right on its head. In traditional Urdu poetry, the lover is usually humble and helpless before the beloved, but here Daagh audaciously dares to throw tantrums and put on airs instead. The speaker observes this with an amused smile, wondering what sudden madness or boldness has taken over his heart.
