I Came Back With Nothing But Du‘a | Deep Sad Nasheed

I didn’t come back with excuses.
I didn’t come back with pride.
I came back with nothing but du‘a.

This nasheed is for the one who feels empty after sin, who returns to Allah ﷻ with shaking hands, no good deeds to show, and only hope in His mercy.

No music. No instruments.
Only voice, humility, regret… and tawbah.

If you’ve ever felt unworthy to return — this is your reminder:
Allah never asked you to be perfect, only sincere.

🌙 THEME / MESSAGE

• Returning to Allah after falling
• Emptiness after sin
• Du‘a as the last rope
• Allah’s mercy over deeds
• Sincere tawbah and hope

🎙️ FULL LYRICS

(Sad, broken, du‘a-style)

INTRO (whispered)

Ya Allah…
I didn’t come back proud…
I came back empty…
With nothing but du‘a…

VERSE 1

I ran so far, I lost my way,
I knew the truth, but chose delay.
I chased a life that didn’t care,
And now I’m standing here… bare.

My hands are weak, my heart is tired,
My soul feels burned by its own fire.
I tried to stand on my own two feet,
But I fell again… defeated.

PRE-CHORUS

I don’t have deeds to lay at Your door,
I wasted nights, I wanted more.
All I have left is a breaking plea—
Ya Allah… please look at me.

CHORUS (crying hook)

I came back with nothing but du‘a,
No excuses left, no lies to hide.
Just tears that fall when I call You,
And hope You still reply.

I came back with nothing but du‘a,
My sins are loud, my heart is small.
If You don’t forgive me, Ya Rabb—
I have nothing… nothing at all.

VERSE 2

I remember when my iman was strong,
When salah felt right, not forced or long.
Now I rush through words I used to mean,
And that hurts more than what I’ve seen.

The world took from me, piece by piece,
Promised joy, but stole my peace.
So I came back the only way I knew—
Broken, lost… running to You.

PRE-CHORUS 2

If You turn me away, where would I go?
Who else could wash my soul like snow?
I don’t deserve another chance—
But mercy was never about plans.

CHORUS (stronger, cracked voice)

I came back with nothing but du‘a,
My head is low, my voice is thin.
I don’t ask You to love me for my deeds—
I ask because You are Ar-Rahman.

I came back with nothing but du‘a,
No good excuse, no defense.
Just a servant begging his Lord—
Don’t leave me like this in the end.

BRIDGE (spoken du‘a)

Ya Ghaffar…
I don’t trust my strength anymore.
I don’t trust my heart on its own.

Hold me when I try to run.
Pull me back when I forget.
Make my weakness my way back to You…
Not my excuse to leave.

FINAL CHORUS (hope through tears)

I came back with nothing but du‘a,
And You were still closer than before.
If this is all I have to bring—
Then let it be enough, Ya Rabb.

Clean my heart, rewrite my past,
Make my return my final path.
Until my last breath leaves my chest—
Ya Allah… don’t let me leave again.

OUTRO (whisper, fading)

Ya Allah…
I have nothing…
But I have You.
