The meaning of "mublisun" is the قطع of hope in Allah's mercy.
As for Allah Almighty's saying: "And on Al-A'raf are men," it means that on the wall of Paradise there are men whose good deeds and bad deeds are equal. They recognize the people of Paradise by their marks (the whiteness of their faces) and the people of Hell by their marks (the blackness of their faces). These people yearn to enter Paradise, and it has been narrated that Allah Almighty commands them to enter it, forgiven.
