There are many Lohri songs but this is famous lohri song:
Sunder mundriye ho,
Tera kaun vicharaa ho,
Dullah Bhatti walla ho,
Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho,
Ser shakkar payee ho,
Kudi da laal pathaka ho,
Kudi da saalu paata ho,
Salu kaun samete,
Chacha gali dese,
Chache choori kutti, zamidara lutti,
Zamindaar sudhaye,
Bum Bum bhole aaye,
Ek bhola reh gaya,
Sipahee far ke lai gaya,
Sipahee ne mari itt,
Bhaanvey ro te bhaanvey pitt,
Sanoo de de Lohri, te teri jeeve jodi,
Now at the last HAPPY LOHRI TO ALL OF YOU…
