according with an arabic reader, the incription is not religious (don't seem)
may be a poem ?,
but the person is unable to read it

as far as that yatagan is not arab,
if the alphabet is well arabic, the language may be not

sorry

I wonder if it is farsi, or old turkish? because the arabic friends i have shown cannot read this side either, it has me baffled, i wonder if it was collected by a non turk after a battle then re-fitted or re-scripted?? it intrigues you to find out what is written...
