The former State Anthem of the Republic of Kazakhstan was used as the national anthem of Kazakhstan from 1991 to early 2006. Upon independence in December 1991, the melody of the anthem of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, composed by musicians Mà «qan Tölebaev, Yevgeny Brusilovsky and Latif Hamidi, was retained; and new lyrics written by authors Mà «zafar ÃÂlñmbaev, Qadyr Myrza ÃÂlñ, Tà «manbai MoldaÃÂaliev and Jadyra Därñbaeva were adopted in 1992. The lyrics were written by four people including poet Jadyra Därñbaeva (), one of only a handful of women to have ever been involved in writing a national anthem.
On 7 January 2006, it was officially replaced by "Menññ Qazaqstanym", the country's current national anthem.
