"پول کافی ندارم" ("I don't have enough money") negates داشتن ("to have") with the prefix na- (ندارم) attached directly to the verb, since Persian negates verbs with a prefix rather than a separate word like English "don't".
Where English speakers slip
Because it's spelled with the same letters as the sound "pul", some learners shorten the vowel to sound like English "pull". It should be a fully long "oo", identical to the English word "pool", not the short vowel in "pull".
