Plot
Akram, a street boy who reinvents himself as a religious devotee in Karachi, sees Pari at the home of Maulvi Sahab and falls in love at first sight. Taimoor, a young station officer visits Pari's home one day and he also falls in love with her. Naheed - Pari's best friend, gets jealous of her good fortune as she likes Taimoor and ruins her reputation. Mistakenly Akram marries Naheed while believing he is engaged to her friend Pari. When Pari’s father dies, Akram supports her, yet his obsession grows. Naheed eventually poisons herself and Akram; she dies, leaving behind a confession letter, while Akram survives and continues to pursue Pari.
Pari, determined to hurt Akram, becomes engaged to his servant Munna, though her old admirer Taimoor returns. Munna sacrifices his love and reunites Pari with Taimoor, while Akram’s desperation turns violent. At Pari’s wedding, Akram begs for her love but is shot dead by Munna, ending his obsession. One month later, Pari and Taimoor are shown as a happily married couple, closing the chapter on Akram’s destructive pursuit.
