The story revolves around Maham, a young lady in her 20s. She is madly in love with Umar, who loves her back. Umar's family does not approve of this relationship. But the young lovers finally get married after Umar's elder brother persuades them to consent. But after the marriage, Maham faces her in-laws, Umar's father, his elder brother Bakhtyar, Bakhtyar's wife Rubab, Umar's paternal aunt Durdaana and her daughter Shifa. After Maham meets Bakhtyar, she realises he has been stalking her for quite a long time. Durdhaana wanted Umar to marry Shifa. To take revenge Durdaana starts hatching plots against Maham so that all the family members turn against the young bride. But never for once does Umar speaks against Durdaana, even if he knows that she is wrong and is lying. Meanwhile, Bakhtyar keeps on stalking Maham and threatens her that if she informs anyone then he will get her into big trouble.
A year later, Umar's father finally asks Umar to marry Shifa and take her as a second wife after requests from Durdaana's side. But Umar disagrees and asserts that he may leave his entire family for Maham. After this, his father suffers a heart attack and dies. Now Bakhtyar, the head of the family, exercises his authority and keeps on misbehaving with Maham. Umer blindly believes his brother and is just a puppet in his hands. Neither Maham nor Rubab dare speak out. When Bakhtyar is caught red-handed trying to harass Maham, he succeeds in putting the entire blame on her. Umar ends up divorcing Maham. Once she leaves, the family convinces Umar to marry Shifa, and he complies, even though he does not love her. Later to take revenge, Maham marries Bakhtyar. One by one, Maham avenges all her insults. Durdaana and Shifa find themselves at the receiving end. Maham even convinces the infatuated Bakhtyar to transfer his family home in her name. Meanwhile, Umar is deeply disturbed by the sight of Maham as his brother's wife.
In the end, Umar overhears Bakhtyar and Durdaana talking about how an innocent Maham had become the victim of their conspiracies. Filled with remorse, Umar rushes to apologise to Maham and begs her for another chance, but she does not respond. He divorces Shifa and leaves her with Durdaana in a dilapidated old house. Shifa goes insane, and Durdaana is left lamenting her bad luck. Meanwhile, Maham vanishes, leaving a letter explaining to Bakhtyar what she had done and why. Bakhtyar goes berserk trying to find her and dies after meeting an accident. Rubab inherits the entire wealth and takes charge. Umar decides to go away to London, hoping against hope that he might meet Maham one day and beg for her forgiveness.
