The National Anthem of Independent, Neutral Turkmenistan, adopted in 1996, was first written by the first president of Turkmenistan, Saparmyrat Nyýazow, which mentioned his well-known alias "Türkmenbaşy". It was composed by Weli Muhadow, who also composed the music for the Turkmen SSR anthem when Turkmenistan was part of the Soviet Union. The lyrics were changed in 2008 after the president's death a couple years prior, removing any mentions of "Türkmenbaşy".[1][2][3][4]

Ready I am to shed blood for our native hearth,
Vigour of ancestors our sons are famous for.
'Tis the light of the neutral, independent land,
The flag soars high o'er the world.
Chorus:
Eternal great creation of the Turkmen folk,
My great stalwart state, my great sovereign land.
You are the light and song of the soul,
Long live and prosper, my Turkmenistan!
My nation unified in the veins of tribes,
Our forebears' blood flows undyingly.
Ne'er shall storms and discord of times dread us,
Generations will protect our glory.

Eternal great creation of Turkmenbashi,
My great stalwart state, my great sovereign land.
You are the light and song of the soul,
Long live and prosper, my Turkmenistan!
Ready I am to shed blood for our native hearth,
Vigour of ancestors our sons are famous for.
'Tis the light of the neutral, independent land,
The flag soars high o'er the world.
Chorus
My nation unified in the veins of tribes,
Our forebears' blood flows undyingly.
Ne'er shall storms and discord of times dread us,
Generations will protect our glory.
Chorus
Mountains, rivers and beauty of steppes,
Love and destiny, inspiration of mine.
Let my eyes go blind for any cruel look at you,
Motherland of ancestors and heirs of mine.
