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.
