I need recommendations for a good, faithful translation of Rumi. I don't want Coleman Barks' free interpretations, because they are most certainly not faithful to the originals.

Yes that's not what I wanted to hear. Aren't there any good, literal translations?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafez
Hafez was another Persian poet. I was just recommending him. Also the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is good.
