Time to regret in life
Not so done for brotherhood’s good,
Charity nor for truth you’ve stood,
The day you fuss, your failure fret,
That be the time ought ye regret.

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhaashhitam. This one is taken from my selection of translations. One regrets so many things that he need not. Yet, there are but a few things that he should really regret if not accomplished. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:
hitam na kinchit vihitam parasya,
daanam na dattam na cha satyam uktam |
yasmin dine nishfalataam prayaatah,
sah eva kaalah parikhedanasya ||
