And I am indeed self-restrained, my wealth held in common,
I am one who spurns shared wealth,
and forsake complaint that does not accord with my nature.
And abandons complaining unmatched by my state,

And my nature is one whose like none can match
And my state is one unmatched
among people, save those of refinement like me.
By any but those graceful like me.

Independent through my abundant merit.
