لا يتضجر عند المصيبة، ولا يفرح فرحَ بطر عند النعمة
He does not grumble at misfortune, nor rejoice with arrogant joy at blessing.
بَطَرٍ — excessively. The owner closing 'a joy of arrogance', set directly after the echoing action-noun. As the owning member it takes the genitive ending and pins down exactly which sort of joy is denied, the conceited kind.
