The inscription on the statue says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: LOOK UPON MY WORKS, ye Mighty and despair!". Ozymandias challenges the other mighty and powerful kings to look at his works (kindom, wealth, achievements) because he thought they would last for ever and will be eternal.
But the irony is that nothing else remains other than the statue. Everything has been razed to the ground. There is only sand and more sand which remains. Even the statue is not proper and has been destroyed as well.
