agree Jose Maria Ll. : sometimes with a "-" between "al" and "khayr" = "al-Khayr", but the above is very common. Well done!

sabaaH(u) ´l-khayr

Pretty straightforward, meaning "Morning of good". The reply, however, is "sabaaH(u) ´l-khayr", meaning "Morning of light".
Poetic, isn´t it?

Sabaah-el-Khair

There are so many different ways to spell this one term depending on the accent used to say it. And that depends on the region/country/area of the person saying it.

Sabaah'l Khair (khayr/khare)
Sabaah al Khair
Sabaah-ul-Khair,

are all different ways for pronouncing the same term.
Two tricky letters that don't have equivalent in English are the ones used to say 'h' in the word 'sabaah', and 'kh' in 'Khair'. They have throaty pronunciations which, like I said have no equivalent in English.
