Hindi Shayari for a Greeting Card: Birthday, Thanks and Festivals

LanguagesPublished October 8, 2026 · 2 min read

A two-line shayari says what a paragraph cannot. Below are original Hindi couplets you can use or adapt, each with its meaning in English, followed by how to put one on a card and have it read aloud in Hindi.

For a birthday

खुशियों की बारिश हो, हर दुआ कबूल हो,
जन्मदिन पर आपके, हर दिन फूल ही फूल हो।
May happiness rain down and every prayer be heard; on your birthday, may every day be full of flowers.

For someone far away

दूर हैं तो क्या हुआ, दिल के पास हैं,
आपकी यादें हमारी सबसे खास हैं।
What if we are far apart? You are close to my heart, and your memories are the most special thing I have.

To say thank you

शब्द कम हैं, शुक्रिया कैसे कहूँ,
आपने जो दिया, उसे मैं कैसे गिनूँ।
Words are too few to say thank you; how do I count everything you have given me?

For Diwali

दीये की लौ में छुपी है एक दुआ,
आपका घर रहे रोशन सदा।
In the flame of the lamp is hidden a prayer: may your home stay bright always.

For an anniversary

साथ आपका यूँ ही बना रहे,
हर सफ़र आसान, हर मोड़ हसीन रहे।
May your togetherness stay just so, every journey easy and every turn beautiful.
