Beautified for people is the love of desires: from women and children, and heaped-up treasures of gold and silver, and branded horses, and cattle and tilled land; but desires have a deceptive strategy,
الشَّهَوَاتِ the desires
The owning half of 'love of the desires', sitting in the genitive because it completes the possessive pairing started by the previous noun. It carries 'the', which makes the whole pairing definite, and the ending alone shows the 'of' relationship that English would spell out with a separate word.

فَلِلشَّهَوَاتِ so for the desires
Here two prefixes stack: 'so/then' introduces the consequence clause, and beneath it 'for' is a preposition forcing the genitive on 'the desires' and marking them as the ones that possess what comes next. Together they push the sentence into its concluding point, that these desires have a deceptive scheme.
