Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Upon independence in December 1991, the melody of the Anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, composed by musicians Mūqan Tölebaev, Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Latif Hamidi, was retained; and new lyrics written by authors Mūzafar Älımbaev, Qadyr Myrza Älı, Tūmanbai Moldağaliev and Jadyra Därıbaeva were adopted in 1992.

The lyrics were written by four people including poet Jadyra Därıbaeva (Жадыра Дәрібаева), one of only a handful of women to have ever been involved in writing a national anthem.

[1] On 7 January 2006, it was officially replaced by "Menıñ Qazaqstanym",[2] the country's current national anthem.

Татулық, достықтың киелі бесігі Мейірбан Ұлы Отан, қазақтың даласы!

Қайырмасы Jaralğan namystan qaharman halyqpyz, Azattyq jolynda jalyndap janyppyz.

Tatulyq, dostyqtyñ kielı besıgı – Meiırban Ūly Otan, qazaqtyñ dalasy!

Respecting the motherland, honoring the genius of the people, In the hour of hard times, we have opened our arms to all.

We’ve overcome the hardships, let the past serve bitter lesson But today we face a radiant future.
