He gets a job as a singer in a local restaurant. Returning home on the occasion of Eid, he comes across a woman standing on the bridge. He finds her very attractive, befriends her, walks her home, and finds out that her name is Sakina and she's a carpet weaver who lives with her aunt and blind grandma.

- The story is narrated by Gulabji (Rani Mukerji), a prostitute who frequents RK Bar, the town's most luxurious club. Gulabji tells the story in flashback, when she met Raj at the bar one night at RK Bar.
The bar's lead singer, Ranbir Raj (Ranbir Kapoor), whom she affectionately calls "Saawariya" ("blue lover"), is a free-spirited and kindhearted guy. Raj is new to town and has only yet performed his first show for the bar. Despite knowing what Gulabji does, Raj is friendly to her, and unlike other men, is kind to the other prostitutes, trying to brighten their sad lives. He sings songs to put their crying children to sleep while they have to be out for work. Raj makes friends with Gulabji, like a normal human being. When he tells Gulabji 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: Lilian (Zohra Sehgal) - but she allows only those she likes.
Raj meets Lilian and they have an emotional conversation, during which Lillian reveals she had a son who left her 37 years ago and never returned. She lets Raj stay with her because he reminds her of her long-lost son. Raj realizes that Lilian has been alone for 37 years and has not been hugged for that period of time. Raj has no money to give and offers to do all the odd jobs around the house till he is able to earn some money. Lilian had found her long lost son.
That night, Raj meets a mysterious girl. He tries to talk to her, but under the wrong impression, she shouts at him to go away. Raj tells her that he will, on the condition that he'd escort her to safety, lest someone with bad intentions trouble her. As predicted by Raj, a drunkard begins following her and Raj saves her from him. After that, she allows him to escort her home, but she would not hold his hands. The woman seems to be very sad, and Raj tries hard to get a smile to her face. Raj manages to make her smile with his charm, but the woman feels guilty about even this small little pleasure. Raj discovers her name is Sakina (Sonam Kapoor) and falls in love with her.
Lilian is ecstatic that Raj is in love and wants to meet the woman of his dreams. Raj promises not to leave Lilian even if he gets marries.
Raj decides to confess his feelings to Sakina. He resigns from his job to see her and calls her, but she ignores him because she was standing in the streets with one her relatives. He gets angry with her, but the pair reconcile. Sakina explains that had she recognized Raj, she would not have been allowed to leave her house again on subsequent nights. He takes her to his favorite place, on the top of the clock tower. There, Sakina reveals that she is in love with a man named Imaan (Salman Khan). Imaan arrives at Sakina's house as a lodger who rented a room. Sakina lived in a grand house with her grandmother and a helper. Gradually, Sakina falls in love with Imaan, as he is a handsome young man and very mysterious. Imaan also reciprocates her love. Imaan had to leave but promised to return for Sakina on Eid. It has been a while, but she is still waiting for him faithfully. Hearing this, Raj becomes heartbroken and doesn't confess his true feelings to Sakina.
However, he refuses to believe that there is an Imaan. Raj had written Sakina's name on the walls of the streets and Sakina offers this as proof that Imaan is indeed back in town. Sakina gives Raj a letter to deliver to Imaan's last known address. Raj burns the letter after Sakina leaves. He asks Gulabji for advice, who advises him to tell Sakina how he feels. With the entire neighborhood cheering him on, Raj decides to propose to Sakina on the night of Eid.
He takes Sakina to RK Bar and sings his favorite song for her. Sakina remembers that it's time to meet Imaan and leaves. Following her, Raj tells her that he has discovered that there is no Imaan. Sakina tells him to let her go. Hurt, Raj goes to Gulabji, saying he wants to sleep with her. Gulabji, who loves Raj, is deeply hurt and gets Raj thrown out onto the street, where he is beaten up by a few of Gulabji's henchmen. He returns to where Sakina is waiting. Imaan has still not arrived.
Sakina, heartbroken, becomes sure that Imaan will not come back so she decides to be with Raj. Raj tries to make Sakina happy and succeeds. When they are returning home, they pass the bridge where they first met and see Imaan waiting for Sakina. Sakina hesitates as she steps toward Imaan. Raj, however, tells her to go and Sakina reunites with Imaan.
