It is difficult to say whether the note here should be Old Style, Quatrain or P’agyŏk. The poem repeats characters, folk song style. The rhyme is pin/kyun/in.
The rich worry because they’re rich; the poor worry because they’re poor.
Starvation and satiety embrace different situations, but worry is always the same.
I wish for neither poverty nor riches.
I want to be ordinary, neither rich nor poor.
