مَضَيْتُ I left
A past verb with its 'I' subject built into the ending, 'I left/went on'. Inside the conditional it carries an 'if I go ahead' sense rather than a flat past.

وَيَمْضِي and goes on
This joins the linking 'and' to a present-tense verb carrying its own subject, chaining a second habit to the first: 'and goes on'. The two verbs describe the same decisive type.

It is as if you had not heard news of those who have passed.
مَضَى those who have passed
Built on a past-tense verb meaning 'has passed', this word is used here as a stand-in for 'those who have gone before', the dead of earlier generations. Governed by the preposition, it names the people the news is about, turning a verb into a label for a whole class.
