Diyar-e-Dil depicted the story of Bakhtiyar Khan / Agha Jan (Abid Ali) and his family. Agha Jan's family parted ways a long time ago due to the rebelliousness of his son, Behroze Bakhtiyar Khan (Mekal Zulfiqar) as he refused to marry a woman of his father's choice Arjumand Bedar Khan (Hareem Farooq) and went on to marry Ruhina Arsalan (Sanam Saeed) instead. After getting disowned by his father, Behroze left his house to marry Ruhina, while Arjumand was forced to marry Behroze's younger brother, Suhaib Bakhtiyar Khan (Ali Rehman Khan). Soon after his marriage when Behroze came back to apologise to Agha Jaan, the young man and his wife were insulted and banished for life. This made the two bitter towards both Agha Jaan and Sohaib. The two couples navigated various problems in their marriage, which for Behroze and Ruhi were financial problems, and for Sohaib and Arjumand were emotional disconnect. The series then focused on their life after marriage and showed how Suhaib and Arjumand grew close after the birth of Wali Suhaib Khan (Osman Khalid Butt), and fell in love, and later Ruhi and Behroze also had a daughter, Faarah Behroze Khan (Maya Ali). After twenty years, Behroze became a successful businessman, and both the couples were settled and satisfied. Suhaib never stopped looking after his older brother, in the hope of reuniting Behroze with his family. After Sohaib’s untimely death, Behroze finally came back home and made up with Agha Jaan. Their children were married, fulfilling Suhaib's last wish to reunite the family. However, Ruhina opposed this decision and left Behroze in anger due to her brother's manipulation. As a result, Behroze died of grief.

With the grief of her father's death, Farah never managed to connect with Agha Jaan and Wali, and if she ever managed to, she was pulled back by her mother. Her mother now made Agha Jaan give them a monthly allowance that she spent on her brother and his wife. With constant persuasion of her mother, maternal uncle and cousin, Faraah demanded for a divorce from Wali along with her inheritance, which further increased tension in the family and became the cause of Agha Jaan's developing illness. Faarah told her mother she did not want her inheritance, and that it was added to her divorce agreements without her choice, due to which Ruhi left the house in anger, leaving her daughter alone. After Agha Jaan's second heart attack, Wali, driven by rage, kidnapped Faarah from her house and drove her to his summer resort, locking her in a room so she would not be able to escape. Once Faarah calmed down, Wali made an agreement with her; that if she agreed to live with Agha Jaan for three months, he would give her a divorce so she could marry her cousin Moeez (Ahmad Zeb) whom he thought she loved. Following the agreement Faarah developed affection towards Agha Jaan and realised her mistakes and lies told by her uncle Tajamul Arsalan (Behroze Sabzwari) and mother, and eventually developed a soft corner for Wali. Tajamul and Moeez's truth was revealed to Ruhi after which she regretted her doings and was locked up by Moeez. He kidnapped Faarah to retain her inheritance to invest in his business, where Wali saved Faarah and gets wounded of gun shot. Moeez ended up in jail, while Ruhi breaks all ties from her brother and reunites with Agha Jaan and her in-laws apologizing for her doings. Faarah admits her love for Wali the day her contract was due, and the two reconciled removing all the misconceptions they had in their hearts and complete the valley of heart (Diyar-e-Dil).
