Plot

Zainab, an orphan who has been raised by her aunt, has since childhood been in love with her aunt's son, Sheheryar. Sheheryar ends up in an arranged marriage with Rubab, a selfish woman and the complete opposite of what Sheheryar expects in a wife. When Rubab aborts their child, Sheheryar loses his mind and in deep depression, he becomes involved with Roshni, a prostitute. Sheheryar falls in love with Roshni, but his mother manipulates the situation in such a way that Zainab and Sheheryar get married. Sheheryar, however, does not forget his love and goes in search of Roshni. He finds that Roshni is happily married to another man in Australia and has a son now. Sheheryar does not realize that he is in fact the father of the child. An obsessed Sheheryar tries to reconcile with Roshni, and they succeed. The drama ends with both leaving together.
