And if I wished, I could adorn you both with the adornments of this world,
شِئْتُ I wished
This is a past-tense verb with the first-person 'I' built into its -tu ending, no separate pronoun needed. Under the 'if' particle it sits as the condition's verb, the wishing that the rest hangs on. The past shape here carries hypothetical force, the standard pattern after this kind of 'if'.
