Subjunctive verb
لِّيَغْفِرَ (That may forgive) is in the subjunctive mood — it comes after a particle like أن ("that") or لن ("will not"), which changes its ending.

Purpose لِ (so that)
لِّيَغْفِرَ (That may forgive) starts with لِ showing purpose — it means "so that" or "in order to".
We add "so that" or "in order to" before the verb.
