hope this helps regards

This translation of the Shahada is wrong, (There is no other god but God and Mohammad is the Messenger of God)

Dmitriy,
The text on this item is not Farsi, my guess is it is Turkish or maybe Uzbek, both languages are similar, I would lean towards Turkish. You have to keep in mind that Afghanistan and the Ottoman Empire had close military relationships, so it is not unlikely to find something Turkish in Afghanistan.
