وَالْخَيْلُ الْمَوْسُومَةُ وَالْأَنْعَامُ وَالْحَرْثَ فَلِلشَّهَوَاتِ حِيْلَةٍ غِيَارٍ،
And the branded horses, the livestock, and the cultivated fields — desires have a deceitful device for substitution.
فَلِلشَّهَوَاتِ so for the desires
A layered word: the prefix fa- ('so/then') marks a turn to the consequence, then the preposition li- ('for') governs a noun carrying al- ('the'). So fa- pivots the thought and li- assigns the following noun its genitive object role. Together they set up 'so for the desires ...', steering from the list to the moral point.
