The bright moon on a windless night

A.Kunanbayev «The bright moon on a windless night» literary and musical ode

Dear viewers! We invite you on 28 February at 19:00 literary and musical ode entitled ‘Bright moon in a windless night’, dedicated to the collection of immortal poetry of the great Abay!

«Is love understandable to the one

Who has never tasted its sweetness?

Who is ready to give life,

If he has not seen the distress?»

There is no Kazakh who is not familiar with and delighted by the greatness of Abay's poems...  Imagine, would you believe that there is no person in the world who was not captivated by the feelings of Abai and Togzhan, who remained uninvolved in their history!

Caught in chains, imprisoned in insecure,

Could not escape the cauldron of hell.

Could find no end, no cure,

I'm condemned to carry my torment forever.

Abay's poetry, his great lines about the heartbreaking power of love for his tenderly beloved chosen one Togzhan, which touched the heart of every reader, remains immortal from year to year.
