An old man may be humiliated in his old age until people's hearts have mercy on him.
كِبْرِهِ — his old age. A noun with a 'his' suffix on the end, so one word carries both 'old age' and its owner. It sits in the 'of'-style ending because the preposition before it governs it. The 'his' points back to the old man, fixing the humiliation to his own late years.
