والحور الْعين يعجبن من سوء اختيارك عَلَيْهِنَّ
And the wide-eyed maidens wonder at your poor choice over them.
عَلَيْهِنَّ — upon them. 'Ala (over) fused with the feminine-plural '-hinna' (them) — choosing [worldly delights] 'over them', the houris. The pairing 'prefer + 'ala' names what you chose against; the feminine suffix points to the maidens.
