And I seek refuge in God from having wasted time in praising a useless student,
ضَيَّعْتُ I wasted
This is a past-tense verb, 'I wasted', with the attached -tu 'I' as its subject. The first-person doer rides as that suffix, and marked by qad before it the verb reads as a settled 'I have wasted'; no separate 'I' word is needed.
