The play moves around the lives of two characters Qalab-e Momin and Momina, both are poles apart but in some way or the other, they are connected to that same divine source in their own way. Hamza Ali Abbasi and Sajal Aly are for the first time coming together as an onscreen couple.

Her brother’s kidneys are failing and she is helpless in doing anything for his brother’s survival. She is doing soap operas but she is not happy with her work plus she is not been acknowledged the way she should be.

Qalab e Momin has thrown a party at his house and in the mid of the party, his grandfather ‘dada’ arrives at his house! Qalab -e Momin is shocked and panicked to see him he is not expecting him he is more ashamed that he has not done any preparations as he knows that his grandfather do not like this dance party and he is religious. Momin’s dada is shocked to see a picture in his room instead of calligraphy and he learns from the servant that Momin does that before his arrival but this time he has not informed so he could not replace these pictures with his Calligraphies. Dada has realized that Qalab -e Momin is quite out of track and is heavily indulged in this materialistic and glamour world.
