Birthday wishes
A birthday wish works when it sounds like it was written for one person. Pick the group that fits, copy a wish, then add one detail only the two of you know: a nickname, a place, a small memory.
Every wish here is written by us and is free to send. Use the filter to see wishes for one person, or only Hindi or Punjabi.

जन्मदिन मुबारक हो! आपकी ज़िंदगी में खुशियाँ ऐसे आएँ जैसे बिन बुलाए मेहमान, और जाने का नाम न लें।
जन्मदिन की ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएँ। ईश्वर आपको अच्छी सेहत, सुकून और अपनों का साथ दे।
हैप्पी बर्थडे यार! तू है तो हर दिन थोड़ा आसान लगता है। आज की पार्टी तेरी, बिल भी तेरा।
माँ, जन्मदिन मुबारक। आपके हाथ की रोटी और आपकी दुआ, दोनों के बिना मेरा घर अधूरा है।
पापा, जन्मदिन की शुभकामनाएँ। आपने जो कंधे पर बिठाकर दिखाया, वही दुनिया आज मेरे काम आ रही है।
भाई, जन्मदिन मुबारक! बचपन में तुझसे लड़ा, अब तेरे लिए किसी से भी लड़ सकता हूँ।
दीदी, जन्मदिन की बधाई। आप डाँटती भी हैं तो लगता है कोई अपना है। हमेशा खुश रहिए।
मेरी प्यारी बहन को जन्मदिन मुबारक। तू हँसती रहे, बाकी सब मैं देख लूँगा।
जन्मदिन मुबारक हो, जीवनसाथी। आपके साथ चाय भी त्योहार लगती है।
बेटा, जन्मदिन मुबारक। खूब पढ़ो, खूब हँसो और जहाँ भी रहो, घर का रास्ता याद रखो।
देर से सही, दिल से सही। जन्मदिन की बहुत बहुत बधाई!

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ
ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ! ਰੱਬ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਤੰਦਰੁਸਤੀ, ਖੁਸ਼ੀਆਂ ਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ੇ।
ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਲੱਖ ਲੱਖ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ ਯਾਰਾ! ਤੇਰੀ ਯਾਰੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡੀ ਕਮਾਈ ਹੈ।
ਮਾਂ, ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ। ਤੇਰੀ ਅਸੀਸ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ ਮੇਰਾ ਹਰ ਕੰਮ ਸਿਰੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਦਾ ਹੈ।
ਬਾਪੂ ਜੀ, ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ। ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਛਾਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਸਿਰ ਉੱਤੇ ਸਦਾ ਬਣੀ ਰਹੇ।
ਵੀਰੇ, ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ! ਤੂੰ ਹੱਸਦਾ ਵੱਸਦਾ ਰਹੇਂ, ਬਾਕੀ ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ।
ਭੈਣੇ, ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ। ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਘਰ ਦੀ ਰੌਣਕ ਅਧੂਰੀ ਹੈ।
ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ ਪੁੱਤ! ਵੱਡਾ ਹੋ, ਨੇਕ ਬਣ ਤੇ ਮਾਪਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਨਾਂ ਰੌਸ਼ਨ ਕਰ।
ਦੇਰ ਨਾਲ ਸਹੀ, ਦਿਲੋਂ ਸਹੀ। ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਢੇਰ ਸਾਰੀਆਂ ਮੁਬਾਰਕਾਂ!
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Make it yours
- Start with the name. "Happy birthday, Ritu" reads warmer than "Happy birthday" alone.
- Add one true memory in a single line. It turns a copied wish into your own.
- Send it early in the day. A wish at 8 in the morning feels more thought of than one at 11 at night.
- For elders, add a line of thanks. For children, add what you are proud of.
Questions
Can I send these wishes on WhatsApp and Instagram?
Yes. Every wish is free to copy and send to people you know, on any app, in a card or in a speech.
What do I write for a late birthday wish?
Say sorry in one short line, then wish properly. Do not explain much. See the Belated group on this page.
