Khuda karay keh yeh ab tak mubarak tareen naya saal ho.

I think this is the best syntax to translate this sentence into Urdu. The above two translation are also fine but not precise.

خدا کرے کہ بہ اب تک مبارک ترین نیا سال ہو۔

agree Ramesh Bhatt : Nadeem Sahab! There seems something missing in the texture of the sentence. Perhaps "Aab Tak" needs to be replaced by "Waqt-e-Hazir Tak ka"

Thanks, nothing is missing in this translation. About Waqt e hazir it is a purely personal preference, moreover this is not very commonly used. Try to use the most simplest language while translating.

Yeh naya saal abb tak ka sab say ziada pur mussarrat naya saal ho!

Aburiaz has already given the right expression. I have just tried to give a supplementary expression for the Atheists and those that do not want to bring God into the picture.

It is your free choice to bring God into the picture or not. Aburiaz Sahab, as already said, has given the expression that 99.999% people of Pakistan will like to use. Kamran Naddem Sahab also has given an equally excellent expression. But there are a few people in the world that don't like to bring Khuda [God] into the picture. The choice is the message-sender's.
Note from asker:
Thank you for pointing to religion. I am not a Muslim (not necessarily a non-believer) as the adressee is. In those circumstances, would it be improper to use Khuda in the phrase?
