Shehroze and Mahnoor are a happily engaged couple who are in love since their childhood. They are soon to get married, however, Mahnoor is accidentally hit by the car of a spoilt young man Zaman. The injuries prove fatal and Mahnoor dies, leaving Shehroze shattered.

Driven by revenge, Shehroze is determined to make Zaman compensate the loss by killing Zaman's fiancée, Maryam. Shehroze therefore kidnaps Maryam and is about to crush her under his car but stops. Shehroze cannot do such a cruel thing to an innocent soul so he just leaves, without harming Maryam in any way. After that Shehroz was embarrassed. And Maryam had no choice because people always blamed her innocence because she was kidnapped. So she asked Shehroz to compensate his mistake by marrying her. Shehroz agreed and then they start living happily, although Shehroze maintains a certain distance from Maryam because he wants to stay loyal to his lady love Mahnoor.

Then later on Shehroze tells Maryam that she will always be a tawaan to him and therefore she leaves him and asks for a divorce however Shehroze doesn't want to get divorced as he actually is starting to love and doesn't want her to leave. Maryam hears Shehroze and his aunty Shabana talking about Maryam and how he loves her so much and can't live without her. Shabana then tells him that he should take Maryam back as she realises how upset everyone is that she left in the first place. Shehroze goes to Maryam's house and sees Zaman talking to her about getting together and then Shehroze walks in and Zaman then shoots Maryam.
