Well, the birthday isn't late, the sentiment is. I'd go with {nargh 'eb}, as
Okrand discussed on the startrek.klingon newsgroup (reprinted in HolQeD
v7n2p16):
qaSuch vIneH 'ach narghpu' 'eb. jIpaSqu'.
Following this, I'd recommend:
SoHvaD "Quchjaj qoSlIj" jIjatlh vIneH, 'ach narghpu' 'eb. jIpaSqu'.
Or something along those lines.
