Meaningful Birthday song

The "happy birthday" song that we sing on someone's birthday is quite prosaic, dull, and repetitive to say the least. Maybe it it so because it addresses the lowest common denominator i.e. children who are yet to learn a language fully. If so then it is not for the adults to also sing the same song. Here is a meaningful birthday song in Sanskrit with its meaning.

Song in Sanskrit:

अयि प्रिय सखे जन्मदिनमिदम् ।

प्रार्थयामहे भव शतायुषी ॥ १ ॥

पुण्य कर्मणा कीर्तिमार्जय ।

जीवनम् तव भवतु सार्थकम् ॥  २  ॥

Transliteration of the poem:

ayi priya sakhē janmadinamidaṃ ।

prārthayāmahē bhava śatāyuṣī ॥ 1 ॥

puṇya karmaṇā kīrtimarjaya ।

jīvanaṃ tava bhavatu sārthakam ॥ 2 ॥

Translation in English:

Oh dear friend, today is your birthday;

We all pray for your long life.

By noble deeds may you attain fame;

May your life be meaningful.
