Plot

Armaghan Khan (Alamdar Khan), a civil servant, marries Pariwash but faces marital issues. He finds solace in a courtesan and proposes to her. The courtesan dies during childbirth, leaving a baby girl named Rishtina (Mawra Hocane). Armaghan's family rejects Rishtina, and his first wife leaves him. Armaghan secretly gives Rishtina to his friend Dervesh Khan (Shamil Khan), and dies the next day.
Rishtina grows up in isolation, believing the outside world is dangerous due to the deception by her adoptive parents, Darvesh and Sadaf (Areeba Ahmed Tirmizi). Tragedy strikes when Sadaf dies, and Rishtina learns the whole truth.
To protect Rishtina from her grandfather Karvaan Khan (Manzar Sehbai), her father sends her to Islamabad to live with Hassan, a friend of Armaghan. She arrives to find Hassan paralyzed and nowhere else to go.
