دَعْنِي leave me

دَعْنِي let me
A command form, an imperative 'let / leave', with an attached 'me' pronoun as its object, 'let me be'. The doer 'you' is understood from the command itself; one word holds the order and the person addressed by it.

فَدَعْ so leave
The prefix fa- ('then/so') links the command to what was just established, and the verb is a command form (do this!) to a single listener. So it reads 'then leave', tying the instruction to the preceding exchange.
