Ishq Murshid unfolds a compelling romantic story revolving around the two main characters, Shahmeer Sikandar and Shibra Salman. Shibra is a headstrong, intelligent and self-less girl, unwavering in her principals and deeply cherishing her family values. Hailing from a modest middle-class background, she remains unswayed by material wealth or social status.
Shahmeer emerges as an enigmatic, yielding figure of affluence, having pursued his education abroad in the UK. He is from a wealthy family, however, his mother had died in his childhood leaving him with that everlasting scar, and is conflicted with his father, Dawood. His mother, Zubaida, was supposedly sick in her last remaining moments and had a caretaker hired for her, Farah. Her husband and the caretaker had an affair, and the day Zubaida found this out, she passed away. The caretaker then married Shahmeer's father, and this, Shahmeer refuses to let go of.
When attending his best friends wedding, Faraz, he meets Shibra, demanding her change from a driver. Enthralled by her confidence and alluring personality, Shahmeer finds himself drawn to her in an instant. Shibra is also there attending her best friends wedding, Maliha.
On the wedding night of Faraz and Maliha, Shahmeer crashes into their room, and in a comedic sequence, implores to know more about Shibra by Maliha. This begins the ultimate plan between the three to get Shibra to marry Shahmeer, despite Maliha knowing Shibra's loathing for opulence and corruption. She insists on only marrying who her father chooses.
Meanwhile, Shibra's sister (Sukaina) is upset as she has been married with her cousin, Zohaib, for 3 years now, but because of his family's greedy demands, his mother refuses to take her in as his wife.
Shahmeer embarks on a perfect scheme to capture Shibra's heart, which involves disguising himself as a poor man and starting anew. This means securing employment at Shibra's father's office, transforming into the puzzled and sweet Fazal Bakhsh.
Fazal Bakhsh, in the guise of acquainting with Shibra and her family members, bribes the boy who delivers lunch to Shibra's father and takes up the work of collecting lunch from Shibra's home and delivering it to her father every day.
