[1][2][3] The story revolves around lead protagonist Najaf (Iqra Aziz), a bright girl from a middle-class background, living in Hyderabad in a modest environment with her much younger step-sisters, father Quddos (Firdous Jamal) and step mother Khalda (Annie Zaidi).
Najaf frequently visits Moosa Bhai at a nearby mosque to seek advice on dealing with the difficulties and loneliness in her life.
Najaf's life changes when the affluent young owner of her college, Sikander Iqbal (Zahid Ahmed), orders her expulsion due to a misunderstanding.
Quddos takes up a job in Saudi Arabia and Najaf is sent to live with her Mamu (mother's brother), Rashid, and his family.
Having been brought up by the well-to-do Samina, Maliha takes an instant dislike to Najaf and her increasing closeness to Sikandar over their love and concern for Dua.
Discovering how Samina and Iqbal used their children for their own egos, Sikandar eventually calls off his engagement with Maliha and promptly proposes to Najaf, who he has fallen in love with.
After facing a tragedy in the form of death of Dua, Najaf leaves the house as she believes that she will lose her sister too if she doesn't surrender Sikandar to her.
