Plot

The story revolves around Noorulain Aneez, often referred to as Noorie, who is an orphan. After the death of her parents, she stays with her uncle (father's brother), who, after some time, dies too. Bano, Noorie's uncle's wife wants to get rid of her and leaves her in an orphanage, despite the refusal of the orphanage owner, as there is no space for any new child. Noorie stays at the orphanage for some days. An old man and his daughter want to adopt a male child and educate him so that he can handle their business. They ask their family friend to arrange some male children for them. The neighbor calls the orphanage owner, asking for a male child. She refuses and says there is no male child. When he insists on searching for a male child, the servant at the orphanage asks her to send Noorie, as she wants to get rid of her, as Noorie is a very talkative and notorious girl. The servant takes Noorie to the other city where the old man Tahir lives, leaves her at the station, and runs away. Tahir's daughter Shahida is shocked to see a girl, as she wanted a boy to adopt. Despite her father's advice on keeping Noorie, she sends her to Mr. Akbar. Akbar has a very bad nature; she always keeps shouting at everyone. He has a very spoiled daughter, Sonia. At a night, Mr. Akbar tries to harass Noorie, and his wife catches him by chance. She blames Noorie for that. Mrs. Akbar scolds Noorie and threats her to send her back to the orphanage the next morning. Noorie runs away from the home after everyone sleeps and meets an accident with a car belonging to the Tahir. Tahir brings Noorir back to his house, and he finally convinces Shahida to stay Noorie with them. They trust on Noorie despite Mrs. Akbar's false accusations. Noorie faces lots of problems at her school, as Sonia happens to be her classmate and Noorie doesn't understand English. After completing her 10th grade, she plans on getting admission to a nearby college, and their adopted parents want to send her abroad. Tahir and Shahida have an accident and are dead, leaving Noorie an orphan again. After their death, Nofil, Noorie's class fellow who loves her, decides to marry her but Hareem's mother refrains them to do so. Nofil then brings her to his house where she lives with his parents.
