أحمد إذا ظفرني بالمعاني قبل طلبي

I thank You if You grant me understanding before my request.

ظَفَرَنِي You grant me

A past-tense verb with the attached -ni as its object, 'me'. The doer 'You' is carried inside the verb form, so a single word holds 'You grant me', with the object pronoun fastened to the back as Arabic prefers.

From The Story of Prophet Joseph

فَظَفَرَ الصَّابِرُونَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَعِيَّةِ بِخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ

Thus the patient ones prevailed by this companionship with the good of this world and the Hereafter.

فَظَفَرَ so he prevailed

The fa- here draws a result out of the preceding promise ('and so, as a consequence'), not a mere sequence. The rest is a completed-action verb whose doer follows it, setting up 'the patient prevailed'.
