عمرك وَهُوَ وقتك الْحَاضِر بَين مَا مضى وَمَا يسْتَقْبل
Your life is your present time between what has passed and what is to come.
عُمْرُكَ your life
The '-ka' ending is 'your' addressed to a man, fusing the noun 'lifespan' with its owner into one word. It stands as the topic of a verbless sentence whose description, 'your present moment', follows with no 'is'.
وَلَكِن الشَّأْن فِي عمرك وَهُوَ وقتك الَّذِي بَين الْوَقْتَيْنِ
But the matter is in your life, which is your present time between the two periods.
عُمْرِكَ your life
In the genitive because the preposition governs it, with 'your' (to a man) fused on the end. The whole point rests here: your present lifespan is where the real work is done.
وكتب لفناء ساكنيها عمرًا مقدرًا وميقاتا،
And He decreed a lifespan and an appointed time for the demise of its inhabitants,
عُمْرًا a lifespan
This noun is the object of 'decreed', shown by its accusative ending and indefinite shape, naming a lifespan as one thing ordained. It is the first of two objects, paired with the appointed time that follows, both fixed for the dwellers' end.
