On Eid day, Tahira becomes victim of an accident which injures her leg and she starts to walk on crutches. Due to her lameness, the groom's family denies to marry her while Nadeem and Naheed get married. After the wedding, Azeem and Nadeem advise Naheed to take special care of Tahira.

One day, Azeem and Nadeem scold Naheed as they misunderstand that she doesn't take care of Tahira which upsets Naheed so much that she starts to hate Jameel's siblings. Another day, Anna Bi (Naheed's servant) knocks Tahira down unknowingly that she would fall. Azeem sees it all and blames Anna Bi which Nadeem furiously denies and slaps Tahira. Nadeem becomes distant from his siblings and does not embrace his brother after prayer of

Naheed's father arranges a party and invites Azeem and Tahira also, who come but later leave when Naheed insults them. The party is arranged to announce that all of Naheed's father business and property will be inherited by Nadeem. At this party, her father's secretary arrives with police who arrest her father as he owns a business of counterfeit drugs. Police is about to arrest the secretary as well because he was equally involved in this unlawful evil act but he escapes and shoots Naheed's father and himself is shot by police. Nadeem is then arrested by police due to his father-in-law's crime and Naheed is left alone. Azeem and Tahira have a road accident and Tahira becomes lost when she seeks a doctor. As Tahira also doesn't find her brother, so she takes shelter at the doctor's house. She goes to 'mailad' in doctor's neighborhood which was actually arranged by Zahid, who lives with her mother and has also brought Naheed to her as she was alone. Azeem goes to police station to report about her sister and meets with Nadeem there. He comes home with Nadeem and finds Tahira too. Nadeem needs some money for Nadeem's bail which he takes from his uncle who has not inherited his father's property to his siblings. Nadeem is released from jail and Azeem marries Zahida while the doctor marries Tahira as he feels that he has done wrong with Tahira.
