ANU BRILLIANT ANALYSIS
I will write in detail once this track is over
The symbolism of white/off white colour is virtuous, loyalty, healing, peacefulness, innocence, purity, coldness, emptiness, truth.
When they are in the Dargah they are wearing white. Murtasim the loyal guarding angel escorting his Meerab. Murtasim realizes he loves Meerab, his love becomes virtuous when he discovers it in a holy place. Meerab in white praying for inner peace and is trying to heal from the pain she is suffering.
When they agree to marry each other they are in white. The scene has a feeling of emptiness from Murtasim side, yes he would love to make her his bride but this is not how he wanted to achieve his dream. Meerab feels cold as she is giving up his world to become his bride.
When they consummate their marriage they are in off white. Meerab and Murtasim lost their innocence. The are virgins having sex for the first time, it is called growing up. Their innocence was snatched away from them cruelly and since the the timing was not perfect this feels traumatic to them. No one wants to grow up, you just do that is life and it doesn't play fair.
They are destiny's couple providence intervenes to get them married, knock knock it is fate again time to take this union to the next step. Both these big life changing decisions were not in their control, kismet intervenes saying if you can't decide for yourself a higher power will decide for you DUFFODS. So MeMu please stop being drama queens the day you take charge of your lives is the day you stop being a puppet in fortune's hands.
For Murtasim his Meerab is a symbol of purity that he wanted to safeguard all his life, according to him he failed in his duties symbolized by his dragging of his white shawl on the ground. The shawl and his beloved wife are one and the same, they are his dignity, pride and respect. He once used that piece of cloth to drape her in his protection and now he drags it on the ground dirtying it as he feels he made Meerab impure by his actions. But as always he will gather himself up and the shawl will be back on his glorious shoulders as he restores her back to her rightful place.
White symbolizes truth. There is only one truth in TB he loves her and she loves him, and they will find their way back to each other.
@Bold - Absolutely perfect scene, right? (of course you need to blur out the Behaya's clothes peeking from the corner)
But when I first saw him dragging the shawl in the promo, I was almost shocked. It has never happened previously. Then in the episode, within context, it all made sense - his defeated walk, shawl dragging on the ground - it was his dignity that he was dragging on the ground, which normally he held on his shoulders. It also rekindled his dialogue from the Walima night - 'the day my shoulders are unable to lift the burden, that day you will be the first person to fall on you face.' As you said, he will gather himself back, and bring his izzat to the rightful position.
I didn't make the 'white' connection though - that is absolutely lovely analogue. Make perfect sense.😊
