Zhandos Askabiev - Poem
KAZAKH NATION
 
Vast and boundless is my Kazakh land, 
Let every industry flourish, as planned. 
Let my soaring eagle rise ever high, 
And every city in bloom beautify. 
Let my blue flag wave in the sky, 
May evil pass our borders by. 
Let unity and harmony grow strong, 
And every Kazakh heart burst into song. 
Let the Kazakh name rise with pride, 
Then who could cast us pain worldwide? 
From birth, we are heroes, brave and true, 
I’ve turned the pages of history for you. 
We are Alash’s heirs, who never cowered, 
Etched in stone, our tale empowered. 
This is who we are-Kazakh and bold, 
Who never bowed to the enemy's hold. 
Let our nation’s pedestal ever rise, 
Let peace dwell under our skies. 
May unity in our land never cease, 
And harmony crown us with grace and peace.
