The story focuses on Naaji (Sarwat Gillani) and Tahir (Mikaal Zulfiqar). Naaji is a village girl; while Tahir is an aristocrat who falls in love with and wants to marry her. Tahir is already engaged to Fauzia (Mahjabeen). His family does not want him to marry Naaji, but he does so. Naaji attempts suicide because of Fauzia.
