Safe journey wishes
"Reach safely" is one of the kindest things people say to each other. These wishes are for a trip, a long drive, a flight abroad or a yatra.
Wishes
Have a safe journey! Message me when you reach. I will be waiting for it.
Happy journey! May the roads be clear, the trains be on time and the window seat be yours.
Safe travels. Take many photos and bring back stories.
Have a wonderful holiday. Switch off the work phone. The office will survive.
Wishing you a smooth flight and soft landings. Call when you land.
Drive safe. No hurry is worth it. Reach late, but reach.
All the best for your new life abroad. Study well, eat properly, and remember that home is one call away.
Wishing you a peaceful yatra. May you return with a light heart.
Bon voyage! Go see the world, then come back and tell us about it.
Drive easy, stop for tea, and do not race the trucks. One word when you reach.
First flight! Take the window seat and tell me what the clouds look like from above.
Go well. Study hard. And remember that home is here whenever you want it.
Wishing you a peaceful yatra. Remember us in your prayers.
हिन्दी में
आपकी यात्रा शुभ हो। पहुँचते ही फ़ोन ज़रूर करना।
शुभ यात्रा! रास्ता आसान रहे और सफ़र यादगार।
सँभलकर जाना, समय पर खाना और पहुँचकर खबर देना।
विदेश में मन लगाकर पढ़ना, बेटा। घर की चिंता मत करना, हम सब ठीक हैं।
तीर्थ यात्रा मंगलमय हो। हमारे लिए भी प्रार्थना कीजिएगा।
आराम से जाइए, रास्ते में चाय ज़रूर पीजिए, और पहुँचते ही एक संदेश कर दीजिए।
परदेस जा रहे हो, ख़ूब तरक़्क़ी करो। घर का दरवाज़ा हमेशा खुला है।
ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ
ਸਫ਼ਰ ਸੁਖਾਵਾਂ ਹੋਵੇ। ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕੇ ਫ਼ੋਨ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਕਰੀਂ।
ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਅੰਗ ਸੰਗ ਸਹਾਈ ਹੋਵੇ। ਰਾਜ਼ੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਜਾਓ ਤੇ ਰਾਜ਼ੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਆਓ।
ਪਰਦੇਸ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਘਰ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਭੁੱਲੀਂ, ਪੁੱਤ। ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ।
ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ। ਅਰਾਮ ਨਾਲ ਜਾਇਓ ਤੇ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਕੇ ਫ਼ੋਨ ਜ਼ਰੂਰ ਕਰਿਓ।
ਪਰਦੇਸ ਚੱਲਿਆ ਏਂ ਪੁੱਤ, ਖ਼ੂਬ ਤਰੱਕੀ ਕਰੀਂ। ਘਰ ਦਾ ਬੂਹਾ ਸਦਾ ਖੁੱਲ੍ਹਾ ਹੈ।
Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Why we say it
"Reach safely" and "message when you land" are among the most loving sentences in any Indian family. They ask for nothing except to be told the person is all right. A safe journey wish is the same sentence dressed up a little.
Make it yours
- A road trip: "Drive easy, stop for tea, and do not race the trucks."
- A first flight: "Window seat, I hope. Tell me what the clouds look like from above."
- Going abroad to study or work: pride first, then "home is here whenever you want it".
- A yatra or pilgrimage: a wish for a peaceful darshan, and a request to be remembered in their prayers.
- A daily commute in bad weather: "Roads are wet today. Go slowly. I will wait."
Ask for the arrival message
End with it, lightly: "One word when you reach." Then answer the arrival message when it comes. For elders travelling alone, agree on a time to call, and keep their ticket details and the number of someone at the other end.
A small safety note
- Do not ask people to post their travel plans or live location in large groups.
- A driver should not be reading your wish at the wheel. Send it before they leave.
What to avoid
- Frightening stories about the route.
- A string of calls while they are driving or in the air.
Make it yours
- Ask them to message when they reach. It is the real point of the wish.
- For someone going abroad to study or work, add that home is always there.
