The scene begins with the main character, Rustam, requesting Sheikh Genu to take him to meet Sage Ilmi, who has answers to all questions and can help him find his missing father. However, Genu is hesitant due to the dangers of Mehran Valley, where Sage Ilmi resides. Rustam convinces Genu to take him along, and they set out on their journey.
Meanwhile, Lady Ruksaar, who is ill, is being cared for by Genu's brother. Genu's brother promises to take care of her until Rustam returns.
As Rustam and the masked thief (who is revealed to be a princess of thieves) journey to Mehran Valley, they use a magical carpet to travel quickly. Along the way, they share personal stories and the princess reveals that she has seen the carpet in her dreams.
Upon arriving at Mehran Valley, they are unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Meanwhile, Zafar, a villainous character, discovers the masked thief's plan to meet Sage Ilmi and seeks to stop him, believing that the thief's failure will lead to his own success in obtaining the magical lamp.
