For him, serving humanity is freedom,
He is the language and the rhythm of the Turkmen people.

We bow to him with a thousand bows,
As to a brother forever and ever.

A legend of millennia and a tale of centuries.
He does not need to be called – he is always ready to come.

The poet’s path is originally as mysterious as it is simple,
He solemnly takes his place on his eternal post.
At the foot of the Kopetdag, His Highness Magtymguly Fragi stood today
For three centuries, he has set out on a great journey.
He serves the peoples of the whole Earth with all his soul.
The closest and dearest person of all times
Is Magtymguly Fragi, the Fountain of Wisdom.
His Highness Magtymguly Fragi.
