हिन्दी में
माँ, मातृ दिवस की शुभकामनाएँ। आपकी गोद से अच्छी जगह दुनिया में कोई नहीं।
हैप्पी मदर्स डे, मम्मी। आपने बिना कहे सब समझा, आज मैं कहकर बताना चाहता हूँ: आप सबसे अच्छी हैं।
माँ के हाथ का खाना और माँ की दुआ, दोनों का कोई मोल नहीं। मदर्स डे मुबारक।
दूर रहकर भी हर दिन आपकी याद आती है, माँ। मातृ दिवस की ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएँ।
सासू माँ, आपने मुझे बेटी की तरह अपनाया। मदर्स डे की बधाई।
माँ, आपने बिना कहे सब समझा और बिना जताए सब किया। मातृ दिवस की शुभकामनाएँ।
आज भी घर पहुँचते ही पहला सवाल आपका होता है: खाना खाया? माँ, आप जैसी कोई नहीं।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ
ਮਾਂ, ਤੇਰੇ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਦੀ ਰੋਟੀ ਤੇ ਤੇਰੀਆਂ ਅਸੀਸਾਂ, ਇਹੀ ਮੇਰੀ ਦੌਲਤ ਹੈ। ਮਾਂ ਦਿਵਸ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ।
ਬੇਬੇ, ਤੂੰ ਆਪ ਗਿੱਲੇ ਥਾਂ ਪੈ ਕੇ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੁੱਕੇ ਥਾਂ ਪਾਇਆ। ਤੇਰਾ ਦੇਣਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਦੇ ਸਕਦੇ।
ਮਾਂ ਦੀ ਬੁੱਕਲ ਵਰਗੀ ਨਿੱਘੀ ਥਾਂ ਹੋਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਹੀਂ। ਮਾਂ ਦਿਵਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Thank her for something she thinks nobody noticed
Mothers are thanked in general and seldom in particular. The wish she will keep is the one that names a thing: the tiffin packed at five in the morning for twelve years, the fees she arranged without telling you how, the way she still asks whether you have eaten. One sentence of that is worth a page of "best mother in the world".
Make it yours
- Use what you call her, in the language you speak to her in.
- Add a memory with a year or a place in it.
- If you live away: call first, send the message after, and say when you are coming home.
- If she is not on a phone: write it on paper, or say it aloud. The wish is the words, not the app.
Every kind of mother
Mother's Day is also for grandmothers, mothers-in-law, aunts, elder sisters and teachers who mothered you. A wish to a mother-in-law that thanks her for raising the person you married is remembered for years. And spare a thought for those who find the day hard: people who have lost their mothers, mothers who have lost a child, and those who wished to be mothers. For them a quiet "thinking of you today" is the kindest message.
What to avoid
- A status about her, and nothing said to her.
- Praise for sacrifice alone. Ask her what she would like to do for herself, and help it happen.
Make it yours
- Thank her for one exact thing: the tiffin, the late nights, the phone calls.
- If you live away, call first and send the message after.
