Not clear what you mean.
You are given parameters "mu" and "sigma" of a lognormal distribution and you want to generate random numbers from this distribution ?

First create a probability distribution object with distribution 'lognormal'; https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/makedist.html#inputarg_distname . Then truncate the distribution; https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/prob.truncatabledistribution.truncate.html
