Lohri Songs- Dulla Bhatti Song
The 'ho's are in chorus Sunder mundriye ho! Tera kaun vicaharaa ho! Dullah bhatti walla ho! Dullhe di dhee vyayae ho! Ser shakkar payee ho! Kudi da laal pathaka ho! Kudi da saalu paatta ho! Salu kaun samete! Chache choori kutti! zamidara lutti! Zamindaar sudhaye! bade bhole aaye! Ek bhola reh gaya! Sipahee pakad ke lai gaya! Sipahee ne mari eet! Sanoo de de lohri te teri jeeve jodi! (Cry or howl!) Paheenve ro te phannve pit!
