Dar e Nijat episode 26 and 27 bring a beautiful shift in the story, as Abu Bakar and Zaryab’s relationship enters a softer, more emotional phase. From Zaryab’s growing realisation of her worth to Abu Bakar’s quiet expressions
Some dramas make you curious about what happens next. Others make you fall in love with the journey itself. Dar e Nijat has entered that beautiful phase where every episode leaves its audience with a little more sukoon.
Episodes 26 and 27 were particularly special. From Zaryab finally expressing what has been troubling her heart to Abu Bakar’s quiet affection, from an unexpected family discovery to some of the sweetest romantic moments between the two, the drama gave us plenty to cherish.
And honestly, who isn’t waiting eagerly for the next episode?
There is something incredibly comforting about watching Abu Bakar and Zaryab find their way towards each other. Their relationship is not built on grand declarations or dramatic promises. It is growing through patience, little gestures, unspoken feelings and a kind of affection that makes you smile without even realising it.
Let’s revisit the beautiful moments of these episodes and explore what makes this journey so special.
Dar e Nijat Episode 26: When Zaryab Finally Opens Her Heart
One of the most meaningful moments in episode 26 comes when Zaryab finally tells her dadda what has been going on inside her heart.
Until now, we have seen her struggle with her feelings, often expressing her discomfort through anger and distance. But this time, she puts her emotions into words.
She tells her dadda that Abu Bakar is a wonderful person and that he does not deserve someone like her. She considers herself a misfit, someone who is ruining the lives of two genuinely good people.
Her words are particularly heartbreaking when she explains that the mercy she sees in their eyes frightens her, while their sincerity makes her feel ashamed.
“Mujhe lagta hai main do achay logon ki zindagi barbaad kar rahi hoon.”
She believes she deserves someone just as flawed and sinful as herself, rather than the kindness she receives from Abu Bakar and Khushbakht.
There is something deeply relatable about this feeling. Sometimes, when a person has been through difficult experiences, genuine kindness becomes difficult to accept. They begin questioning whether they deserve it at all.
Zaryab is not questioning Abu Bakar’s goodness. She recognises it. The problem is that she cannot see herself as someone worthy of receiving it.
Her dadda, however, gently reminds her that this is her naseeb. Allah has blessed her with people who genuinely care for her, and instead of being frightened by their goodness, she should learn to appreciate this blessing.
And perhaps that is exactly what Zaryab needs to hear.
Dar e Nijat Episode 26 and 27, Zaryab’s Fajr Prayer: The Beautiful Influence of Abu Bakar
If there is one moment from episode 26 that deserves special appreciation, it is Zaryab offering her Fajr prayer and listening to the recitation of the Quran.
What makes this scene so beautiful is how naturally it unfolds.
We have watched Zaryab struggle with herself, her past and her understanding of faith. We have also watched Abu Bakar remain patient with her, offering kindness without making her feel pressured.
And now, we see a subtle but meaningful change.
Zaryab is gradually turning towards Allah. Her heart is finding a different kind of comfort, and the influence of Abu Bakar’s company is becoming visible in the most beautiful way.
This is perhaps one of the loveliest aspects of their relationship. Abu Bakar does not need to lecture Zaryab or constantly remind her what she should do. His own character, his patience and his connection with Allah become an example for her.
It also reminds us that hidayat is a blessing from Allah. Sometimes, a person finds their way towards faith through the kindness and goodness of someone Allah places in their life.
Remember the earlier scene in which Zaryab reacted to the discussion about hidayat? Seeing her now quietly offering Fajr makes her journey even more meaningful.
What a beautiful transformation to witness!
Abu Bakar Discovers His Maternal Family, But Faces an Unexpected Rejection
Episode 26 also brings an important revelation in Abu Bakar’s family story.
Abu Bakar visits Malik Sahab’s house, a politician he has some work with. As he enters the house, something catches his attention: a photograph of his late nana.
That photograph leads him to connect the dots. Malik Sahab is actually his mamu, his mother’s brother, and Malik Sahab’s mother is his nani.
Imagine standing inside a house and suddenly realising that you are surrounded by people who are connected to your own mother.
Abu Bakar tries to learn more about the family, but Malik Sahab refuses to acknowledge having a sister.
And that is where the moment becomes particularly painful.
Khushbakht’s own brother has distanced himself from her to the extent that he does not even want to acknowledge her existence. Abu Bakar understands what is happening but chooses not to reveal the truth.
He does not create a scene or confront Malik Sahab. He quietly absorbs the information.
It is another glimpse of Abu Bakar’s composed personality. He understands more than he says, and sometimes his silence speaks louder than words.
There is also an interesting contrast here. While his mother’s own family refuses to acknowledge her, Abu Bakar and his mother have welcomed Zaryab with so much love. The drama continues to show us that family is not simply about blood relations; it is also about the people who choose to stand beside you.
Abu Bakar and Zaryab Miss Each Other: “Jo Mil Jaye Wohi Apna Hota Hai”

Distance is doing something rather sweet to Abu Bakar and Zaryab.
While Zaryab is away, Abu Bakar finds himself thinking about her. His memories keep returning to her, and he realises that she is slowly becoming a part of his everyday life.
He admits that she is becoming his habit rather than a distraction.
And then we get Zaryab’s flashback of Abu Bakar putting on her earrings with his own hands.
It is such a small gesture, but that is precisely what makes it memorable. There is a tenderness in the way he takes care of her, and the memory clearly stays with Zaryab.
The scene also brings us one of the most memorable dialogues of the episode:
“Jo mil jaye wohi apna hota hai, jo na milay woh kisi aur ki kismat mein tha.”
What a beautiful way to look at life and relationships.
Abu Bakar’s words reflect his understanding of naseeb. He does not believe in forcing what is not meant for him. There is acceptance in his words, but also a quiet affection that makes the dialogue even more special.
And while he is remembering Zaryab, she is remembering him too. Sometimes, the sweetest part of a relationship is realising that the other person is missing you just as much.
Dar e Nijat Episode 27: Zaryab’s Breaking Point
Episode 27 brings Zaryab face to face with a painful reminder of her past.
When she sees Hamna, Zamil’s wife, at the hospital, everything she has been trying to suppress comes rushing back.
Seeing the woman who has taken her place in Zamil’s life becomes too overwhelming for her. She experiences a panic attack and eventually faints.
It is a difficult moment because we understand that Zaryab is still carrying emotional wounds. Even though she is now surrounded by people who love her, certain memories can still bring back the pain.
And then comes a dream that is as comforting as it is emotional.
Zaryab sees Abu Bakar coming to her rescue. He helps her get up, just as he always does. She asks him:
“Aap hamesha mujhe girnay par uthany kyun aa jatay hain?”
And Abu Bakar responds that he is always there for her.
What a lovely exchange!
For someone who has spent so much time feeling alone, hearing that someone will always be there must feel like the greatest comfort.
But the sweetest part is yet to come.
Dar e Nijat Episode 27: The Hug, the Blushes and Abu Bakar’s Quiet Dua
Zaryab wakes up from her dream, only to discover that Abu Bakar is actually standing there.
And without wasting a moment, she hugs him tightly.
This is such a precious moment because Zaryab is no longer hiding her need for him. She does not pretend to be indifferent or push him away. She simply holds on to the person who makes her feel safe.
She asks Abu Bakar to take her along with him.
He suggests dropping her at his mother’s house or at her own family’s home, but Zaryab insists that she wants to stay with him.
And that little insistence! Abu Bakar’s reaction, his blushes and their sweet exchange make the scene even more adorable.
There is a playful side to their relationship now. The two share their little moments of teasing, and it is lovely to see Zaryab becoming comfortable enough to express her affection openly.
But the scene that follows is perhaps even more beautiful.

After Zaryab falls asleep, Abu Bakar quietly comes near her. He lovingly smells her dupatta and hair, then recites a dua and blows over her.
There is no elaborate declaration of love here. No dramatic promise. Just a husband looking at his sleeping wife with affection and praying for her well-being.
And honestly, what could be sweeter?
It is these little gestures that make Abu Bakar and Zaryab’s chemistry so endearing. His love is visible in the way he looks after her, remembers her and quietly makes dua for her.
The audience has been waiting to see Zaryab accept this love, and watching her finally seek Abu Bakar’s company so openly is incredibly satisfying.
The New Dar e Nijat OST: A Glimpse of Abu Bakar and Zaryab’s Romantic Journey
The new OST adds another beautiful dimension to the drama.
Listen to the new Dar e Nijat OST on YouTube.
Unlike the emotional weight of some of the earlier moments, the new OST gives us a glimpse of the softer, more romantic side of Abu Bakar and Zaryab’s relationship.
It feels like a celebration of the affection that has been quietly building between them. Their growing closeness, the little moments of romance and the warmth they bring to each other’s lives make the OST especially enjoyable.
It also leaves viewers looking forward to what is coming next. If these episodes are anything to go by, we are entering a particularly lovely phase of their story.
Why Dar e Nijat Is Giving Its Audience So Much Sukoon
There is a reason viewers are so emotionally invested in Abu Bakar and Zaryab.
In a television landscape where relationships are often driven by misunderstandings, shouting matches and endless conflicts, Dar e Nijat is offering something different.
It is allowing love to be gentle.
Abu Bakar does not need to overpower Zaryab’s emotions. He gives her room to process her past, understand her feelings and find comfort at her own pace.
And Zaryab’s journey makes this love even more meaningful. She is not suddenly transformed into a completely different person. She is slowly learning to trust, accept affection and recognise that she deserves kindness too.
The spiritual dimension makes the relationship even more beautiful. Their journey is not only about two people falling in love; it is also about finding peace, rediscovering faith and learning to appreciate the blessings Allah places in our lives.
Perhaps that is why the audience eagerly waits for every new episode. We are not just waiting to see what happens next. We are waiting to spend a little more time with these characters and experience that familiar feeling of sukoon.
What We Are Looking Forward to Next
With Zaryab finally becoming more open about her feelings and Abu Bakar’s affection growing more visible, we are excited to see how their relationship develops.
Will Zaryab continue to find the confidence to accept the love she has been given? How will Abu Bakar’s discovery about his maternal family affect Khushbakht? And will Malik Sahab’s denial of his sister eventually come back into the story?
There is still plenty to unfold, but for now, we are happy to enjoy this beautiful phase of Abu Bakar and Zaryab’s journey.
