It links relevant verses to ayah and hadith. It tries to retain the rhythmic style of the Persian language. The translation won a translation award.

Book 1 of the Masnawi. I was hooked.

Just Buy It. :-)

I can't vouch for it personally, but I've heard that the more recent Mojaddedi translation is quite good and faithful to the original. u/pacman99

Edit: looks like he tries to make it rhyme, though, which means that it isn't a word-for-word translation. I don't know how this compares to Nicholson's approach.
