• فوقعوا في حومة غفلة وفي ضيق شعر،

  So they fell into the midst of heedlessness and into the narrowness of distress,

  ضِيقِ — the narrowness of. This noun sits in the 'of' ending from the preposition fused before it, and it is also the first half of a possessive pair. As the leading noun it depends on the next word to say narrowness of what, with no separate word for 'of'.
