My Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Менің Қазақстаным, Meniñ Qazaqstanım) is the national anthem of Kazakhstan, adopted on January 7, 2006.[1] It is based on a homonymous song written in 1956, with music by Shamshi Kaldayakov and lyrics by Jumeken Najimedenov.[2] This replaced the anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan as the state anthem, which was used after independence. The original lyrics were modified by Nursultan Nazarbayev, the President of Kazakhstan, before the decree was issued.[3]

Алтын күн аспаны, Ежелден ер деген, Қайырмасы:
Ұрпаққа жол ашқан, Қарсы алған уақытты, Қайырмасы (2 pem): |
Altın kün aspanı, Ejelden er degen, Qayırması:
Urpaqqa jol aşqan, Qarsı alğan waqıttı, Qayırması (2 rem): |
Sky of golden sun, From the antiquity Chorus:
The way was opened to the posterity It welcomed the time Chorus (twice): |
