If Only I Could
IF ONLY I COULD
If only I could turn back the hands of time,
at bends of my journey those mistakes done
or mandatory works whichever, left undone
might be sought out not sure, making life sublime.
To turn back the hands of time If only I could,
so many hurried decisions I had taken
under compulsion, situation to be shaken,
might be rectified not sure, to do what I should.
The hands of Time If only I could turn back
I wished not to let you go ever at any cost.
Nothing could compensate what treasure I had lost.
In sports of life I was thrown ruthless out of track.
If I rewind my past to analyse profound
I see, mostly I was victim of circumstance
beyond my capability and competence.
Even going back, I couldn’t change my background.
