reflections over a period of years, his searching and discoveries,

anxiety and despair, sorrows and joy of revelations, anger and humility. His Book of Words is a deeply meaningful way to truth. The poet tirelessly reminds that humans have the greatest value in the world, and that they should be beautiful and harmoniously perfect. Their souls should also be beautiful, as should their mind, body and feelings. Understanding of the real world and the personal responsibility of everyone in the world – this is what the great poet worked for his art and life. Abai explains that the world is eternal, united and harmonious. Discord, anguish, even death cannot destroy the harmony, for they are natural.

Anxiety- алаңдаушылық, revelation –Аян, humility –қарапайымдылық
Eternal –шексіз, discord –келіспеушілік,

once you have attained it, your only well-wisher is yourself

Сен бақытқа қол жеткізген кезде, бәрі сен үшін жақсы, бірақ сен мақсатқа жеткенде, тек қана сен ғана қаласың.

Who among us have not known trouble? Only the weak lose hope.
Nothing in this world is immutable, and misfortune cannot last for ever.
Does not the bountiful and blossoming spring follow the harsh winter?

Кімге қиындық туғызбады? Үмітімді жоғалту әлсіз. Дүниеде өзгеріссіз ештеңе жоқ, бірақ зұлымдық мәңгілік де емес. Қатты қыста болғаннан кейін толық гүлденген көктем келмейінше?

Сіз ақылды адамдардың қатарында болғыңыз келсе, күніне бір рет, аптасына бір рет немесе айына бір рет өзіңізден сұраңыз: сіз қалай өмір сүресіз? Сіз өзіңіздің біліміңіз үшін, жердегі немесе әлемдегі өмір үшін пайдалы нәрсе жасадыңыз ба, сіз өкініш ащы ішу керек емес пе? Немесе сіз байқамайсыз, қалай және қалай өмір сүргеніңіз есіңізде емес пе?

Адам баласы ақылды болып туылмайды. Тек тыңдап, ойланып, бәрін қолмен сезіп дәміне қарай ажыратып, жақсы және жаман арасындағы айырмашылықты біле бастайды. Бала көп нәрсені көріп, естиді, соғұрлым ол біледі.
