How do I make a Lohri song with AI?

Published 2 November 2026

Short answer

Yes. Write a few Punjabi lines about the occasion (a baby's pehli Lohri, a couple's first Lohri after the wedding, or the whole family round the bonfire) with the names in the chorus, paste them into Autunes, choose Punjabi and a style like "bhangra, dhol, tumbi, festive Lohri song", and generate. You get a sung song in about 2 to 3 minutes.

Lohri falls on 13 January in most years, the night before Makar Sankranti, and in 2027 that is a Wednesday. The biggest Lohri in any family is a pehli Lohri: a baby's first, or a newly married couple's first. Those are exactly the nights when a song with the baby's or the couple's name, played at the bonfire and posted on the family group, means more than another remix.

Step by step

  • Decide what the song is for: pehli Lohri of a baby, the first Lohri of a married couple, or a family and friends bonfire.
  • Write a chorus in Punjabi (Gurmukhi or Roman both work) with the name, and one or two verses: the bonfire, rewri and moongphali, gidda and bhangra, the family coming home.
  • Open Create, choose your own lyrics and paste them with [Verse] and [Chorus] tags.
  • Set the vocal language to Punjabi.
  • Style ideas: "high-energy bhangra, dhol, tumbi, male vocal, Lohri celebration", "folk boliyan style, dholki, group of female voices, call and response" for a gidda feel, or "soft Punjabi folk, algoza, warm" for a baby's Lohri.
  • Generate and listen; change one thing at a time if needed.

Lyrics ideas

Write your own lines rather than copying a traditional or film Lohri song: your own words are yours to share, and they can carry the names.

  • Baby's pehli Lohri: "Saadi Gudiya di pehli Lohri aayi, / Dadi ne rewri te moongphali vandi, / Agg de kol nachdi saari bhaaji, / Rabb rakhe sada khush saadi Gudiya pyaari."
  • Newly married couple: "Simran te Arjun di pehli Lohri, / Vehde vich ronak, dhol di dhamaal, / Saare rishtedaar aaye ne naal, / Jodi salamat rahe hazaar saal."
  • Friends' bonfire: name the group, the year and the inside joke in the chorus; keep the verse about the night itself.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI sing in Punjabi?

Yes. Punjabi is one of the languages Autunes sings, in Gurmukhi or Roman script. Choose Punjabi before you generate.

Can I make a song for my baby's first Lohri?

Yes. Put the baby's name in the chorus and choose a softer folk style or a festive bhangra one. Most families make two versions and keep both.

Can I use the Sunder Mundriye folk song?

Traditional verses belong to everyone, but recordings and film versions do not. Write your own lines, or take the traditional idea and put it in your own words, so the song you share is entirely yours.

When is Lohri in 2027?

Lohri is usually on 13 January, the night before Makar Sankranti; in 2027 that is Wednesday, 13 January.
