It revolves around the sufferings of a baby girl and her journey to womanhood, until she is accepted by her grandfather, who hated her throughout his life.

[3] Nawab Hashmat wants a male heir from his son Waqar and daughter-in law-Nargis due to the threats of division of property later on in life.

However on Waqar's and Nargis's begging, he leaves her on the condition she is to be raised with her servants away from her parents and the main house.

Owing to maternal mortality, Zeenat's mother dies and her father is also killed in an accident, leaving her newly born brother Shaukat behind.

She goes to her grandfather's house where the Nawab realises his mistake as the male heir he wanted at the time, now treats him badly.
