Chapter 1 - summary

Where Dreams Find a Home"

In a forgotten corner of Lahore, where dim alleys whisper lost hopes, a young man named Ali dares to dream of light. Burdened by poverty, responsibility, and silence, he holds on to one thing — a vision of a home nestled in the mountains, built not with bricks, but with purpose, community, and shared dreams.

Soon, Noor, a soulful artist escaping urban noise, and Maliha, a quiet poet carrying the weight of unspoken pain, join him. Together, the three friends begin to build "Me'raaq" — not just a mountain retreat, but a sanctuary where every unheard voice, forgotten craft, and silenced dream finds space to breathe.

Through storms of doubt, moments of wonder, and the burden of growing attention, Me'raaq evolves — from a cottage to a community, from an idea to a movement.

Along the way, they face challenges: broken friendships, public criticism, internal fractures, and the hardest question of all — Can a dream survive when it stops being only yours?

With chapters that shift between personal struggle and collective healing, the novel captures the journey of transforming pain into purpose and isolation into belonging
