خلفية ثقافية
In Iran, it is common to use 'شرمنده' (sharmandeh) before 'ندارم' to show respect, especially when refusing a request from a stranger. The usage is identical, but the pronunciation might be slightly more clipped in some regions. Tajik Persian (Tajiki) uses the same structure, though the script is Cyrillic (надорам).
Drop the pronoun
You don't need to say 'من'. Just 'ندارم' is enough.
Be polite
Add 'متأسفم' before saying you don't have something.
