pyaar/dosti/vafadaari/hamesha ke liye


Explanation:
What is the context for forever lasting? You could also use "har pal" which literally means every moment.
If you intend to use this for a wedding invitation though you should probably use Hindi script.

Dosti


Explanation:
The only correct word for friendship is DOSTI. Friend is DOST, though for a close friend YAR is also used, but rarely in writing.

love/friendship/loyalty/forever lasting
Love = Piyar, Muhabat, parem
friendship = dosti, yari
loyalty = vafadari (but it not sanskrit)
forever lasting = hamesha rehne wala/wale,
forever is hamesha, lasting cand be paedar, mustaqil, rehne wala ..
But in an invitation how do you want to use all these words. Word like love/ friendship/ loyalty/ forever lasting may get a lot different meaning and these Hindi replacement may look redicolous.



    Any good English-Hindi Dictionary
    Refer some original Hindi/Urdu invitation cards

pyaar, prem, mohabbat, pranay; dosti, mitrata, yaari; vafadaari; hameshaa, sadaiv, janam-janmantar


Explanation:
The meanings are given in the order of the English words. If it's a wedding invitation, then "pranay-bandhan" or "pranay-gaanth" should be suitable (for love).

Mitrata


Explanation:
Prem/ Mitrata/ Vafadari/ Ananatkaaleen (or antheen)

Anantkaal means eternity

Although the responses given by others are quite correct but I feel that these are better words if one wants to use them for the purpose mentioned by you.
