Monuments to outstanding personalities of Kazakhstan in Astana.

"I came to you from Naryn. It is so good in my homeland:
There are flocks of noisy birds,
Lakes with thick reeds.
There are close friends from childhood,
There is a land dear to the heart.
All this is far away, behind,
Batyrs, I left.
I wandered here as an exile,
So evil fate judged,
Only one hope for you,
Turemurat, Narynbai."

Akhmet Zhubanov "Strings of Centuries". 1958.
