Oh, this one HAS to get in the FAQ!
Many people have come up with their own variations on how to say this. Some
of them are good, some are bad. Bad ones tend to use the word {Quch}.
My preferred line is {qoSlIj DatIvjaj} "May you enjoy your birthday."

Klingon doesn't HAVE tense!
What do you mean, say "late" in the past tense?
wa'Hu' paS tlhIngan.
Yesterday, the Klingon was late.
DaHjaj paS tlhIngan.
Today, the Klingon is late.
wa'leS paS tlhIngan.
Tomorrow, the Klingon will be late.
reH paS tlhIngan!
