ख़्वाबों में पिया

One of the eight documented songs from Nari Ghadiali's 1944 action feature Lieutenant, with lyrics by Mustafa. The title evokes the beloved who visits only in dreams — a dreamy register of romantic longing set amid the film's wartime action. The recording survives in catalogue form; its placement within Lieutenant is no longer documented.

A dream-romance of this kind would have leaned on the period's softest chamber palette — harmonium and tabla under a slow, floating melody, with a sitar threading the dreamlike passages. With no consolidated music-director credit surviving for the film, the song is preserved chiefly as a lyric-and-voice document of Lieutenant's soundtrack.
