  So indeed, the final rank of love is orphanhood, and its first is attachment for the attachment of the heart to the beloved.

  الْحبّ — the love. A definite noun 'the love' completing the possessive chain, the love whose ranks are meant, in the genitive. Set beside 'ranks', it forms 'the ranks of love' directly, without a separate 'of'.
