She wishes you would stay, while you wish to be apart from her.
فِرَاقَهَا — being apart from her. This action-noun, 'parting from / being-apart-from her', has the 'her' pronoun on its end and is the object of his wishing. Arabic uses such an action-noun where English says 'to be apart from her'. The -ha marks the mother as the one he wishes to be free of, the bitter contrast Umar draws.
