'the loss of time will never be regained' to 'time lost will never be regained'

Can we rephrase 'the loss of time will never be regained' to 'time lost will never be regained' while keeping the original meaning intact?

Thanks

Thanks for you reply Mister Micawber. 

Just as an aside, I only found out who Proust was when I watched Little Miss Sunshine.
