I don't say it enough, so here it is: you make my life lighter, warmer and a lot more fun. Happy birthday.
Of all the places I've been, my favourite is wherever you are. Happy birthday, love.
Happy birthday to the one who listens, remembers and shows up. I'm so lucky it's me you chose.
You turned an ordinary year into one I'll remember for the rest of my life. Happy birthday.
Thank you for being gentle with me on the days I'm not easy to be gentle with. Happy birthday.
Every birthday of yours I get to celebrate feels like a gift to me. Happy birthday, my love.
I fell for the way you laugh, and I'm still falling. Happy birthday.
You're my favourite person to tell good news to, and the first one I call about bad news. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to my boyfriend, who is a year older and still thinks he can win an argument with me.
Another year older and you still don't know where your own keys are. I love you anyway. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday! I got you the gift of my company for the rest of the day. No returns.
You're not getting older, you're getting more experienced at being right about nothing. Happy birthday.

You, me, cake. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to the person who knows my silences, my jokes and my bad habits, and loves me through all three. This year I want you to feel as cared for as you make me feel. You deserve cake, quiet mornings and everything good. I'm so glad you're mine.
I've been thinking about what to write all week, and every version came out smaller than what I feel. So here's the plain one: you make my life better in a hundred small ways, and I'm grateful for every one. Happy birthday.
When I think about this year, the good parts all have you in them. The trips, the laughs, the long talks at night. Thank you for making it a year worth remembering. I hope this one is even better. Happy birthday, love.
You work hard, you care loudly and you notice the little things. I hope today someone notices you the way you notice everyone else. Starting with me. Happy birthday.
Our first birthday together, and I plan to be at all the others. Happy birthday, love.
I've been waiting all year to celebrate you. Happy first birthday together.
Wish I could hand you the cake myself. Until then, here's a very big virtual hug. Happy birthday.
Different cities, same heart. Happy birthday, love. I'm counting the days until I see you.
Distance can't make today any less yours. Happy birthday. I'll call the second you're free.
Happy birthday, jaan. Tum ho toh har din special lagta hai.
Tumhare saath har pal khaas hai, aaj thoda zyada. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday! Aaj ka din tumhara, aur sab kuch tumhari pasand ka.
Tum meri duniya ka sabse achha hissa ho. Happy birthday, love.
Happy birthday, mere pagal. Tumhare bina sab kuch bore lagta hai.
Dua hai ki aaj ka din tumhe saari khushiyan de. Happy birthday, jaan.
जन्मदिन मुबारक हो। तुम्हारे साथ हर दिन ख़ास लगता है।
तुम मेरी ज़िंदगी की सबसे प्यारी वजह हो। जन्मदिन की ढेर सारी शुभकामनाएँ।
तुम्हारी मुस्कान बनी रहे, यही मेरी दुआ है। जन्मदिन मुबारक, जान।
तुम्हारे साथ बिताया हर पल मेरे लिए तोहफ़ा है। जन्मदिन मुबारक हो।
इस जन्मदिन पर तुम्हें दुनिया भर की ख़ुशियाँ मिलें। जन्मदिन मुबारक।

What should I write for my boyfriend's birthday?
One true thing about him, said plainly. "You make my life lighter, warmer and a lot more fun" works because anyone can picture it, but "thank you for picking up the phone on my worst days" works better because it's about him. Pick a line here that sounds like you, then add one detail from this year: a trip, a joke only the two of you get, the way he handled a bad week.
How do I write something heart-touching without it sounding over the top?
Keep the sentences short and the feelings specific. Heart-touching doesn't mean long or poetic. It means he reads it and feels seen. Thank him for something small he does that he doesn't know you notice, say what it does for you, and stop. If you wouldn't say a line out loud, it isn't the right line for the card.
Should a boyfriend's birthday message be funny or romantic?
Both, in that order. A joke about the keys he always loses or the last slice of cake opens the message, and one sincere sentence at the end lands harder because of it. If he's more private, keep it to a light joke and a short, warm line. If he's openly sentimental, go longer. You know which of the two he is.
How long should the message be?
For a text, one to three sentences. For a card, a short paragraph. The Long filter has four that fill a card without repeating themselves, and the Short filter has one-liners for a caption or a morning message. A long message sent at midnight can feel like a lot. A short one with a real detail never does.
When should I send it?
Midnight is for couples who like that kind of gesture, and the midnight page has lines written for it. Otherwise, send the first message in the morning, before his day fills up, and save the longer one for the evening, when he has time to read it properly. If you're meeting him, the card is better handed over than sent.
What if we haven't been together long?
Skip anything you haven't said to each other yet. If you haven't said "I love you", a birthday message isn't the place to start. "I'm so glad I met you" and "you've made this year better" are warm, true and don't put pressure on the day. A first birthday together is a milestone, and the First together filter has two lines for it.
What do I send if we're in different cities?
Say what you'd be doing if you were there, and when you'll see him next. "Wish I could hand you the cake myself" paints a picture, and "I'm counting the days" gives him something to look forward to. Then call or video-call at a time he's free. A voice on the day is worth more than any message.
How do I wish my boyfriend in Hindi or Hinglish?
Use तुम, the form couples use with each other. "जन्मदिन मुबारक हो। तुम्हारे साथ हर दिन ख़ास लगता है" is warm and plain. In Hinglish, "Happy birthday, jaan. Tum ho toh har din special lagta hai" is how it's really said. These lines don't use gendered first-person verbs, so they work whoever is writing.

Questions
Before you send it
What is a good birthday message for a boyfriend?
"Happy birthday to the person who makes my worst days better just by picking up the phone." Anything that names one thing he does for you will beat a general "you're amazing".
What are some heart-touching birthday wishes for a boyfriend?
"Thank you for being gentle with me on the days I'm not easy to be gentle with" and "You turned an ordinary year into one I'll remember for the rest of my life" are two of the Heart-touching lines.
What is a short birthday wish for a boyfriend?
"Happy birthday, babe. Still choosing you." or "Happy birthday. You're my person." The Short filter shows every one-liner.
What is a funny birthday message for a boyfriend?
Tease him about something he'll recognise, then end warmly: "Another year older and you still don't know where your own keys are. I love you anyway."
What should I write in my boyfriend's birthday card?
A short paragraph: one thing you're grateful for, one memory from the year, and a line about the year ahead. The Long filter has four to start from.
What do I send my long-distance boyfriend on his birthday?
"Different cities, same heart. Happy birthday, love. I'm counting the days until I see you." Then call him so he hears it as well as reads it.
