Karakorum

The sun and the sand are now over your shambles

They witnessed your greatness, your brilliance seemed endless.

World’s treasures and riches passed through your gates.

You were gorgeous, luxurious– it’s true.

No place could be equal to you.

Grains of sand run through the glass

The flaming sun burns your ruins

Time has no mercy on you and us

No mercy and us

Karakorum, where is your greatness?

Karakorum, where are your riches?

The wind is blowing the sand

The sun is scorching hard

And only your ruins are lying

Within majestic palaces

Your khans ruled sway world’s destinies

All foreigners admired your beauty

And showed their boundless duty

But time had no mercy on you

Time had no mercy and us

Karakorum, where is your greatness?

Karakorum, where are your riches?

The wind is blowing the sand

The sun is scorching hard

And only your ruins are lying
