Hello, I would like some advice

I'm currently trying to learn how to read and writing Urdu so that I may one day be able to write shayari as well, or better understand the subtle undertones that I may otherwise miss in poems. I would like to be able to read this version of Rumi's poetry, the Masnavi, but I'm worried it may be too much of a high level for me to undestand. Could someone please tell me how long would I have to practices to understand these words given in the translation? Also any general advice towards learning writing and reading also would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
