Grammar Rules

Jussive verb
يَغْفِرْ (He will forgive) is in the jussive mood — it comes after لم ("did not") or a conditional word, which shortens its ending.
We translate it as "did not [verb]" or as part of a condition.

Sahih International

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."
