Saba (Sabreen Hisbani) and her five-year-old daughter Iraj (Mariyam Khalif) live with her mother (Samina Peerzada) after her divorce from her husband. Saba marries Faisal (Shahood Alvi) and leaves Iraj in her mother's care. Ammi tells Iraj that she (Ammi) is her mother and Saba is her elder sister. Iraj falls in love with Asad (Junaid Khan), and they get married. Iraj's mother-in-law finds out the truth from her friend, and asks Asad to leave Iraj. Iraj approaches Ammi seeking to know the truth. On knowing the truth, she is angry and hurt. She behaves rudely with Ammi and her own mother, causing both of them great distress. Iraj gives birth to a daughter. Asad is not ready to accept his daughter and divorces Iraj. Faisal finds out about Saba as well and leaves Saba. Ammi eventually dies from the shock. After Ammi's death, Iraj reconciles with Saba. With Iraj's efforts, Faisal reconciles with Saba. He asks Iraj to stay with him as his daughter, but Iraj is unable to agree to it.
