    I found a few well wishes in the book "Write Your Own Egyptian Hieroglyphs", by Angela McDonald. Here are a few:
    -ankh! wedja! seneb! = Life! Prosperity! Health!
    -kab-ek renput neferu = May you multiply happy years!
    -iu-ek men-ti mi na wenut = May you be established like the hours!
    -peteri-ek nefer sedjem-ek nedjem = May you see well and hear happily!
    -imi renpy-ek = May you feel young again!
    -imi seneb-ek = May you be healthy!
    -imi ankh-ek = May you live!
    -seta-tu en-ek teka em gereh er webenet shu her shenbet-ek = May a torch be lit for you in the darkness until the sun shines on your breast!

    There are a few harsh words, too. I will refrain from these, however.
