Example sentence
وصحتك قبل سقمك،
And your health before your sickness.
سَقَمِكَ your sickness
The -ka tacked onto the end means 'your' and ties this noun to you as its owner. Because it follows the time word for 'before', the noun is pulled into the possessive case; Arabic shows that link by the ending rather than by word order alone.

وَتَنْسَى دُنُوَّ السَّقَمِ،
And you forget how near sickness is,
السَّقَمِ the sickness
A definite noun carrying 'the', sitting as the owned half of 'the nearness of sickness'. Being the owner in that pairing forces it into the 'of...' ending, and it lends its definiteness to 'nearness' before it. So sickness is what is drawing close.
