A present-tense verb with the object suffix -hu ('it') fused to its end, so one Arabic word carries both 'forgets' and 'it'. The attached 'it' points back to the 'matter' he had been certain of, tracking the same thing across the clause to make the contradiction land.

وَيَنْسَى and forgets
A 'wa-' fused to a present-tense verb, 'and he forgets'. The 'wa-' links this to the previous line as a continuing description. The verb's 'he' subject is built into its form, carried over from the suffering person already in view, so no new subject word is needed.
