"Peace to your house and peace to the world."

Turkey is the pride of the entire Turkic world,

It is known for its nobility and hard work.

This country has become a landmark in Asia.

Its fame has spread across the seas crossing the ages.

On the lips of old and young - a prayer,

Viziers, sultans, kings stepped here.

Trade is in booming; life is noisy, no way for failing.

Birds are circling over the sea and ships are sailing.

The great Sultan Suleiman ruled with dignity,

Conquer the world, he left his mark on humanity.

The Khan turned the country into an oasis of prosperity

And every resident here treats you with sincerity.

The land where the Almighty has directed his eyes,

Where history and legends from the earliest times.

Traditions and customs - they are present,

The cheerful songs sound to the heavens.

I admire the minarets, they sparkle and sparkle,

I admire the palaces and mosques.

Skyscrapers beckon and the country is sung about

By Masters of Words, by the best poets throughout.

Gaziantep, Hatay, Mersin, Anadolu,

Thriving, growing rapidly, and becoming new.

Every day their glory grows on many sides,

Centuries of history are revived.

Turkey is lulled by the surges of the seas:

Black, Mediterranean, Marmara, Aegean.

Waves caress the country slowly,

As if a mother gently shakes the baby.

The bright sun intertwines with the seas,

Bestowing rays on the earth and hills,

In the forests, the trees are like soldiers of the sultan,

From the empire of the legendary Osman.

The earth raised Mustafa – an unforgettable son,

Enemies and jealousies spread rumors – indecent done.

No one could think that a quiet place – a resistance

From gossip, there would be a thirst for vengeance.

Then over the abode of the great sultans,

The black clouds of death, the titans.

A terrible calamity came upon the land,

And all was raging with fury – nobody understands.

Time has passed - life is in full swing, continues

Four great seas frame this country

And my eyes admire the ancient land,

The cities beckon and my mind expand.

Nature, museums, palaces – the beauty of unspoken

Visitors and tourists come here, the gates are open,

But people won't forget how the earth shook,

In the mournful week of February 6th, the death took.

An ordinary night,

After a stormy day, the city rested,

It didn't know that tears and grief awaited.

An ordinary night leaving no time to think,

The world turned upside, the world on the brink.

Gulnar Rakhimjan,

Kazakhstan
