Hi Khalid Saifullah , as per your image it is the moth of maize stem borer. It is very harmful for your plants. It might be a female moth, who lay eggs on leaves or in stem. As per apperance, I suspect it belongs Crambidae family of insects. Soultion: Go for the foliar application of bifenthrine chemical to get rid of them. I hope you will get better results. Feel free to ask any question about plant pests & diseases. we really love to help you 😊
