Friends get a different Eid message
The wishes you send Ammi, your boss and your best friend shouldn't be the same text. With family you bless; with colleagues you're polite. With friends you're allowed to be yourself — to remind them they owe you a plate, that their chaand raat mehendi was crooked, that you've been waiting thirty days for them to stop being hangry.
Friendship on Eid in India also crosses lines in a way that's quietly beautiful. The hostel roommate who brought you sevaiyan in a steel dabba. The friend whose house you went to every Eid in school, before you understood anything except that the biryani was better there. The colleague who fasted through a month of deadlines without once complaining. This page has a section for each.
For family and elders, see Eid Mubarak wishes; for Urdu and Devanagari in full, Eid Mubarak wishes in Urdu and Hindi.

For non-Muslim friends wishing Muslim friends. Warm, simple, no religious claims you're unsure of — and if they invite you over, go.
Roman Urdu and Hinglish for the group chat (8)
Romanized reads best on WhatsApp — everyone replies in the same keyboard and nobody's font breaks.

For the friend who reads one script better than the other — each copies with its romanized line.
When the friendship deserves more than a forward
Every friend on your list will get the same crescent image from fifteen people. A line from this page already stands out because you picked it. But for the one friend whose house you've spent every Eid at — or the one in a Gulf city who's spending this one alone — there's a better way to say it.
Lovely's Eid Mubarak template is a small chaand raat they get to play. Rooftops, minarets, a dusk sky going apricot to teal. They drag a brass spyglass across the haze until the crescent locks in and the page says "chaand mubarak!" Then lanterns: every lantern they tap glows and shows one of your lines — swap the defaults for "may your biryani always have the aloo (and may you share it)" or your own inside jokes. In the kitchen they drop doodh, seviyan, cheeni, khajoor, mewa and zafran into a bowl of sheer khurma and stir. At the end, an eidi envelope with a crescent seal — they break it, and a note worth "₹ ∞" slides out with a photo of you both and your sign-off.
The default copy is written for a couple, so rewrite the lantern lines and the eidi note for a friend. You choose three to six lanterns and swap in three photos. ₹59 one-time; one link, no app or account.
"Friends are the ones who send the first Eid Mubarak at 12:01," says Lovely's founder. "A page is how you finally beat them to it."
If the friend is far away and this is a hard season, miss you messages for a best friend and jigri dost shayari have lines for the rest of the year.
Make it yours: the one edit
Swap a general noun for one shared memory. Once per message.
- "See you at your place" → "See you at your place — I'm sitting in the same corner as 2014"
- "Your Ammi's sheer khurma" → "Your Ammi's sheer khurma with the burnt bit I love"
- "The bazaar was quieter" → "Mohammed Ali Road was quieter"
- "Different time zone" → "Two and a half hours behind in Dubai"
What NOT to do:
- Don't joke about fasting or prayer. Feast, bazaar and eidi jokes are loved; jokes about someone's worship usually aren't.
- Don't say "Happy Ramadan" on Eid. Ramadan is the month; Eid is the celebration after it.
- Don't fix a date too early. Eid depends on the moon. "Eid Mubarak in advance" is safe; "see you on the 9th" might not be.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good Eid Mubarak message for a friend?
Something that sounds like your friendship, not a greeting card — "Eid Mubarak! Thirty days of you being hangry, and now I finally get my friend back." For a close friend, mention one shared Eid thing: their Ammi's biryani, the chaand raat bazaar, last year's eidi you still owe. One specific detail does more than three blessings.
How do I wish Eid Mubarak to a Muslim friend if I don't celebrate?
Simply and warmly: "Eid Mubarak! Hope your day is full of family, food and rest after a long month." You do not need religious language you are unsure of. Asking how their Eid went, or accepting the invitation to come over for sevaiyan, says more than any perfect phrase.
What is a funny Eid message for friends?
Food and eidi jokes are the safe, loved lane — "Eid Mubarak! Reminder: I am available for biryani from 1 p.m. onwards, no RSVP needed." Keep the humour about the feast, the bazaar and the cousins, not about fasting or prayer, and save it for friends who joke the same way.
What should I send a friend spending Eid away from home?
Something that names the distance without making it heavy — "Wherever you are today, I hope someone fed you sheer khurma. If not, mine is waiting." A voice note after their Eid prayer, or a plan for when they are back, lands better than a long paragraph about missing them.
Is there something better than a forwarded Eid image for a best friend?
A page with your own lines. Lovely's Eid Mubarak template opens on chaand raat with a spyglass to find the moon, then lanterns that each light up one of your duas, sheer khurma they stir, and an eidi envelope worth "₹ ∞" with your photo. Rewrite the default lines for your friend; it costs ₹59 one-time.
