Her zuban ka apna maza hai jab woh translate hoti hai to woh achi baat nahi rehti, and it is other way around too. You can just translate English poems into good urdu poetry unless you are a poet like Iqbal who descried "haqeeqat e husn" really nice.:)

Translation removes the beauty thts present in the original version.
Every language has its own beauty.
