सब देशों से प्यारा

One of the eight documented songs from Nari Ghadiali's 1944 action feature Lieutenant, with lyrics by Mustafa. The title — declaring the homeland dearer than all other lands — marks this as the film's patriotic desh-bhakti number, in keeping with its martial, wartime character. The recording survives in catalogue form; its staging within Lieutenant is no longer documented.

A patriotic anthem of this kind would have been arranged for collective uplift — dholak and drums steadying a marching pulse, a flute carrying the soaring line, and a chorus swelling on the refrain. With no consolidated music-director credit surviving for the film, the song is preserved chiefly as a lyric-and-voice document of Lieutenant's wartime soundtrack.
