  القُلُوبُ — the hearts. Placed after its verb, this definite plural noun is the real doer and stands in the plain subject ending. The 'the' marks the hearts as known, and its post-verb position follows normal Arabic order; being a non-human plural, it draws the feminine-singular verb seen before.
