فَإِذَا لِقَاءُهُمْ فَأَخْفِضْ لَهُمْ جَنَاحَكَ وَذَلِّلْ لَهُمْ قَلْبَكَ وَلِسَانَكَ
So when you meet them, then lower your wing for them and humble your heart and your tongue toward them.
وَذَلِّلْ — and humble. This is a command verb, 'humble', built on a pattern that means making something take on a quality, with the 'and' connector (wa-) fused to its front. The wa- joins this order to the previous one, and the verb's causative shape is what gives 'make humble'. So one word connects and commands.
