Brutaly injured Ali escapes the cave by his intelligence but was unabled to steal the treasure as talisman's magic didn't worked in the cave due to Simsim's magic. Badly defeated Ali Baba practices magic of the taliaman. After defeating Fakri (a huge sepent sent by Simsim),and overcoming the obstacles while using the powers of talisman, Ali Baba tricks the forty theives and Simsim by the magic of talsiman and steals a part of treasure and gave it to the people of Parwaaz.

Then, Qasim reaches the Cave and gets brutaly killed by Simsim and the Forty Thieves.They also hanged him in the centre of Parwaaz and warns that nobody will get him otherwise his whole family will die. Ali tries to get Qasim but Marjina and his friends stopped him to not do this for the sake of the family. Qasim's wife gets angered by Ali and closes the house door at him. Then Ali in Saviour's form gives a proper burial to Qasim with the help of a tailor to sew the wounds of Qasim's body and provides Nazia to see Qasim the last time. But the tailor informs the forty theives about the Saviour of Parwaaz. But Marjina tricks the forty theives by marking every house in Parwaaz and saves the Saviour of Parwaaz.

Then, Simsim brings a genie (which is one of the Iblis' fourteen devils and which betrayed Iblis as he loved a human girl) and promises him to give the heart of his lover to him. Later by defeating Ghaddar the genie Ali gets to know a hint to the way to get Marjina.But with Ghaddar's help Simsim frees Iblis and brings him back to the cave.
