ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ

ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਉੱਤੇ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ ਕਿਹਾ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ। ਹੋਰ ਵਧਾਈ ਦੇਣ ਲਈ ਜਨਮਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ ਕਹੋ। ਬਜ਼ੁਰਗਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰੱਬ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਲੰਬੀ ਉਮਰ ਦੇਵੇ ਵਾਲੀ ਦੁਆ ਵੀ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈਂ। ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਘਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਿਨ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਨਾਲ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।

Happy birthday in Punjabi is **ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ (janam din mubaarak)**. It is short, warm and works for everyone, and around it Punjabi keeps a small family of wishes: congratulations, blessings and a prayer for long life. This page gives them all, including the respectful form for grandparents, because in Punjab a birthday wish to an elder is a small ceremony of its own.

## The phrase, part by part

**ਜਨਮ (janam)** \- birth

**ਦਿਨ (din)** \- day; janam din together is birthday

**ਮੁਬਾਰਕ (mubaarak)** \- blessed; also the root of mubaarakan, congratulations

**ਵਧਾਈਆਂ (vadhaiyaan)** \- congratulations, good wishes

**ਸਾਲਗਿਰਾਹ (saalgirah)** \- birthday or anniversary, literally the knot of the year

## When to use it

For friends and family your age, **ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ ਮੁਬਾਰਕ (janam din mubaarak)** or **ਜਨਮਦਿਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਵਧਾਈਆਂ (janamdin diyaan vadhaiyaan)** is perfect. For an elder, add ji and a blessing: **ਰੱਬ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਲੰਬੀ ਉਮਰ ਦੇਵੇ (rabb tuhaanu lambi umar deve)**, may God give you a long life. That sentence, said with folded hands, is worth more than any card.

In many Punjabi homes a birthday begins at the gurdwara, with thanks and an ardas, before any cake appears; and in the cities you will hear English happy birthday sung in the middle of Punjabi sentences. Both are normal. The word for day, [ਦਿਨ (din)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/din/), sits inside the phrase, and the feelings word [ਖੁਸ਼ੀ (khushi)](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/khushi/), happiness, inside the reply.

## What people say back

**ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ (dhannvaad ji)** \- thank you, the standard reply

**ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਹੈ (tuhaadi kirpa hai)** \- it is your kindness, the graceful reply of an elder

**ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਮੁਬਾਰਕਾਂ (tuhaanu vi mubaarakan)** \- congratulations to you too, when birthdays or festivals coincide
