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. Tahir also dies after hearing of Naaji's reported death. Tahir and Naaji have a daughter, Saiqa (Juggan Kazim). She grows up in the hateful atmosphere of her father's family mansion, with everybody insulting her at every step, and plotting to get rid of her and her mother. Rehan (Ahsan Khan) at the beginning hates Saiqa like every other person in the family but later he realises that he loves her.
