فَعَاقُوا so they were ungrateful
A past-tense 'they' verb (the -u tail marks the plural subject) prefixed by fa- ('so'). The fa- here is consequential: it presents the ingratitude as the bitter result that followed their growing up. So fa- ties cause to effect across the two verbs, sharpening the disappointment.

فَإِنَّكَ مَتَى إِلْتَفَتَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَخَذُوْكَ وَعَاقُوْكَ
For whenever you turn to them, they seize you and hold you back.
وَعَاقُوكَ and they held you back
The wa- joins a second consequence ('and held you back'), parallel to the seizing before it. The verb carries its plural 'they' subject and the object -ka ('you') on the end, so it too packs subject and object into one word. The connector pairs the two results as twin outcomes of turning to them.
