In the English speaking world, the author Coleman Barks' translations of Rumi's works are quite famous. He is known as the best translator for Rumi's works. 

I know that in any translation, the essence of the work may not be as good as the original. Keeping this in mind, has anyone read Rumi's works in English and Farsi and found that Barks has not done a good job?

I have another book of Ghalib, which prints his Urdu (similar to Farsi) in the Hindi script, without translation, and then expands on the meaning in English. In this translation though, 2 line or 4 line verses have a page or more than a page long explanation. The Rumi poems on the other hand have been written as poems. 

So I am just curious, if we are getting out of Rumi in English, all that we should :)

Thanks!
