When they are returning home, they pass the bridge where they first met and see Imaan waiting for Sakina. Raj tries to make Sakina happy and succeeds. Sakina, heartbroken, becomes sure that Imaan will not come back so she decides to be with Raj. Gulab, who loves Raj, is deeply hurt and gets Raj thrown out onto the street, where he is beaten up by a few of Gulab's henchmen.

Hurt, Raj goes to Gulab, saying he wants to sleep with her. Following her, Raj tells her that he has discovered that there is no Imaan. Sakina remembers that it is time to meet Imaan and leaves. He takes Sakina to RK Bar and sings his favourite song for her: "Saawariya". With the entire neighbourhood cheering him on, Raj decides to propose to Sakina on the night of Eid. He asks Gulab for advice, who advises him to tell Sakina how he feels. However, he refuses to believe that there is an Imaan. Hearing this, Raj becomes heartbroken and does not confess. It has been a while but she is still waiting for him faithfully. Imaan had left but promised to return for Sakina on Eid. There, Sakina reveals that she is in love with a man named Imaan. He takes her to his favourite place, on the top of the clock tower. He gets angry with her but the pair reconcile. He resigns from his job to meet her and calls her but she ignores him. Raj decides to confess his feelings to Sakina. Raj discovers her name is Sakina and falls in love with her. After that, she allows him to escort her home.

As predicted by Raj, a drunkard begins following her and Raj saves her from him.

Raj tells her that he will, on the condition that he would escort her to safety, lest someone with bad intentions trouble her. He tries to talk to her, but under the wrong impression, she shouts at him to go away. She lets Raj stay with her because he reminds her of her long-lost son. Raj meets Lillian and they have an emotional conversation, during which Lillian reveals she had a son who left her many years ago to join the army and never returned. When he tells Gulab that he needs a job and somewhere to stay, she tells him that there is only one woman who'll give him a place to stay: Lillian – but she allows only those she likes. Despite knowing what Gulab does, Raj is friendly to her, and unlike other men, is kind to the other prostitutes, trying to brighten their sad lives. The bar's lead singer, Raj, whom she affectionately calls "Saawariya" ("beloved"), is a free-spirited and kindhearted man. The story is narrated by Gulabji, a prostitute who frequents RK Bar, the town's most luxurious club.
