Shubh Raatri

Say it**shubh RAAT-ri**Type**Phrase**

In short

Good night in Punjabi is ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ (shubh raatri), the written and formal form. Families more often part for the night with ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ (rabb raakha), may God protect you, or with ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ (Sat Sri Akal), the greeting of every hour.

## How it's used

1. 1ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ, ਸਵੇਰੇ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ੤Good night, see you in the morning. _The parting_
2. 2ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ ਜੀ੤May God protect you. _The spoken goodnight_
3. 3ਹੁਣ ਸੌਂ ਜਾਓ, ਦੇਰ ਹੋ ਗਈ ਹੈ੤Sleep now, it has got late. _To children_

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ

ਗੁੱਡ ਨਾਈਟ ਲਈ ਲਿਖਤੀ ਰੂਪ ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ ਹੈ੤ ਘਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਾਤ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਦਾ ਲੈਣ ਵੇਲੇ ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ, ਜਿਸ ਦਾ ਅਰਥ ਹੈ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਰਾਖੀ ਕਰੇ੤ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੌਂ ਜਾਓ, ਸਵੇਰੇ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ ਕਹਿ ਕੇ ਸੁਲਾਇਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ੤

Good night in Punjabi is **ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ (shubh raatri)**, the form for messages and formal use. But listen at a Punjabi doorway at bedtime and you will hear something warmer: **ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ (rabb raakha)**, may God protect you, the parting blessing that Punjabis use at every farewell, night included. This page gives both, so you can write the formal one and speak the living one.

## The phrase, part by part

**ਸ਼ੁਭ (shubh)** \- good, auspicious

**ਰਾਤਰੀ (raatri)** \- night, the formal form of the everyday word ਰਾਤ (raat)

**ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ (rabb raakha)** \- may God protect you; rabb is God, raakha the protector

**ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤ (shubh raat)** \- the shorter form heard in quick speech

## When to use it

Send **ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ (shubh raatri)** in a message and it reads perfectly. Saying goodnight in person, especially to elders, **ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ ਜੀ (rabb raakha ji)** carries the house's love with it, and to children a parent adds the practical words: **ਸੌਂ ਜਾਓ, ਸਵੇਰੇ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ (saun jaao, savere milde haan)**, sleep now, we will meet in the morning.

The everyday word for night is [ਰਾਤ (raat)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/raat/), and it anchors the time words on the [time words](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/punjabi-time-words/) page. Its mirror greeting, for the other end of the night, is on the [good morning](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/how-to-say-good-morning-in-punjabi/) page.

## What people say back

**ਸ਼ੁਭ ਰਾਤਰੀ ਜੀ (shubh raatri ji)** \- good night, returned with respect

**ਰੱਬ ਰਾਖਾ (rabb raakha)** \- may God protect you, returned

**ਸਵੇਰੇ ਮਿਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ (savere milde haan)** \- see you in the morning
