Let’s find Kazakh translation 
     
Intruding on the ear,the wonderful song, 
And the sweet melody captured the soul 
Various thought wafted 
If you love the song, love it like I do 
Everything is born from thought 
I forget irretrierably 
The soul is penetrated by the song 
And the heart warms the body 
 Құлақтан кіріп бойды алар, 
 Жақсы ән мен тәтті күй. 
 Көңілге түрлі ой салар , 
 Әнді сүйсе ң менше сүй. 
 Дүние ойдан шығады, 
 Өзімді өзім ұмытып. 
 Көңілім әнді ұғады, 
 Жүрегім бойды жылытып. 
     
Oh my luckless Kazakh 
An unkempt moustache hides your mouth and shin, 
Blood on right cheek, fat on your left. 
When will the dawn of your reason begin? 
Your looks are not bad, your number is vast. 
Yet why do you change your favours so fast? 
You will never listen to sound advice 
Your tongue in its rashness is unsurpassed. 
Қалың елім, қазағым, қайран жұртым, 
Ұстарасыз аузыңа түсті мұртың, 
Жақсы мен жаманды айырмады 
Бірі қан, бірі май боп енді екі ұртың, 
Бет  бергенде  шырайым  сондай  жақсы , 
Қайдан  ғана  бұзылды  сартша  сыртың 
Өзімдікі  дей  алмай  өз  малыңды , 
Күндіз күлкің бұзылды, түнде ұйқың, 
     
“ The tick of a clock”. 
The tick of the clock is not something slight 
The sounds mark fleeting fractions of day 
Each minute transient life in full flight. 
That never returns when once passed away 
The ticking of clock unheeded still shows. 
The count of our days and seconds exciting wished. 
 Time is not constant, it changes and flows 
The past in its march cast off and distinguished . 
Сағаттың шықылдағы емес ермек, 
Нөлінше өмір өтпек – ол білдірмек. 
Бір минут бір кісінің өміріне ұқсас, 
Өтті, өлді тағдыр жоқ қайта келмек, 
Сағаттың өзі ұры шықылдаған, 
Өмірді білдірмеген, күнде ұрлаған 
Тиянақ жоқ, тұрлау жоқ, келді кетті 
 Қайта айналмас, бұрылмас бұлдыр заман.
