• فلبثت والقدح على يدى أنتظر استيقاظهما حتى برق الفجر والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمى فاستيقظا فشربا غبوقهما

  So I waited with the vessel in my hand until dawn broke, and the children were crying at my feet. They then awoke and drank their evening drink.

  قَدَمِي — my feet. This noun carries the possessor -i ('my') and sits in the 'of' (genitive) ending under the place-adverb before it. The suffix bundles 'my' onto 'feet' in one word, fixing the children's position close to the speaker.
