I agree with QeS's earlier comment about {-lu'} and sociolinguistic
reasons to avoid it in an imperative construction. Your sentence may
be grammatical, but it feels stylistically or culturally wrong to me.

Instead of {-lu'}, one can always use {vay'} or {pagh}.
{DulIj vay' 'e' yIchaw'Qo'!}
{DulIjmeH pagh, yISuv!}
