हिन्दी में
दोस्ती दिवस की शुभकामनाएँ! तेरे जैसा यार कहाँ, और मेरे जैसा नसीब कहाँ।
हैप्पी फ्रेंडशिप डे, दोस्त। रिश्ते खून के नहीं, भरोसे के होते हैं।
स्कूल छूट गया, दोस्ती नहीं छूटी। फ्रेंडशिप डे मुबारक, यारो।
दोस्त वही जो मुश्किल में साथ दे और खुशी में टाँग खींचे। फ्रेंडशिप डे की बधाई!
दोस्ती के इतने साल हो गए, और आज भी तेरा नंबर सबसे पहले याद आता है। मित्रता दिवस मुबारक।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ
ਯਾਰੀ ਦਿਵਸ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ! ਯਾਰ ਉਹੀ ਜੋ ਔਖੇ ਵੇਲੇ ਨਾਲ ਖੜ੍ਹੇ।
ਯਾਰਾਂ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਫਿੱਕੀ ਚਾਹ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੈ। ਹੈਪੀ ਫਰੈਂਡਸ਼ਿਪ ਡੇ!
ਸਾਡੀ ਯਾਰੀ ਸਦਾ ਸਲਾਮਤ ਰਹੇ। ਸਾਰੇ ਯਾਰਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਮੁਬਾਰਕਾਂ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
A day made for a small message
Friendship Day asks for very little: a line that says "I remember, and I am glad". It is the easiest day to write to a friend you have lost touch with, because the calendar provides the excuse. Do not waste it on a forward.
Make it yours
- A photograph from the old days, with one line under it.
- The nickname, and the reason for it.
- A count: "Nineteen years, four cities, one unpaid loan of two hundred rupees."
- A plan, with a date. Friendship lives on plans.
Different friends
- School and college friends: the canteen, the bunk, the bench.
- Work friends: thanks for making the office bearable.
- Neighbours: the friends who actually turn up in an emergency.
- A spouse or a sibling who is also your best friend: say so. They will be pleased.
- Parents' friends, the "uncles and aunties" who helped raise you: a wish to them is unexpected and lovely.
What to avoid
- Tagging twenty people in one post. Each will know they are one of twenty.
- Ranking friends.
- Bands and gifts in place of time. An hour together beats both.
Longer messages are on our sister site at friendship messages, and verses at friendship poems.
Make it yours
- Old friends: send a photo from the old days with the wish.
- A plan beats a wish. End with a date to meet.
