The State Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасының Мемлекеттік Гимні, Qazaqstan Respublikasinıñ Memlekettık Gimnı) is the national anthem of Kazakhstan, adopted on 7 January 2006. It is based on the song named Meniñ Qazaqstanım (Cyrillic: Менің Қазақстаным, pronounced [mʲeˈnɘɴ qʰɑzɑqstɑˈnəm]; lit. 'My Kazakhstan') written in 1956 composed by Shamshi Kaldayakov and written by Jumeken Najimedenov. This replaced the former anthem used after independence, which followed the melody of the anthem of the Kazakh SSR. The original lyrics were modified by president Nursultan Nazarbayev before the decree was issued.

Altyn kün aspany,
Altyn dän dalasy,
Erlıktıñ dastany -
Elıme qaraşy!
Ejelden er degen,
Dañqymyz şyqty ğoi,
Namysyn bermegen,
Qazağym myqty ğoi!
Qaiyrma:
Menıñ elım, menıñ elım,
Gülıñ bolyp egılemın,
Jyryñ bolyp tögılemın, elım!
Tuğan jerım menıñ - Qazaqstanym!
Ūrpaqqa jol aşqan,
Keñ baitaq jerım bar.
Bırlıgı jarasqan,
Täuelsız elım bar.
Qarsy alğan uaqytty,
Mäñgılık dosyndai.
Bızdıñ el baqytty,
Bızdıñ el osyndai!

Sky of golden sun,
Steppe of golden seed,
Legend of courage -
Take a look at my country!
From the antiquity
Our heroic glory emerged,
They did not give up their pride
My Kazakh people are strong!
Chorus:
My country, my country,
As your flower I will be planted,
As your song I will stream, my country!
My native land - My Kazakhstan!
The way was opened to the descendants
By the vast land I have.
Its unity is proper,
I have an independent country.
It welcomed the tests of time
Like an eternal friend,
Our country is blessed,
Our country is such!
Chorus
