Ottoman Yataghan - Gold Inscription Translation?

Here are some photos of the Sword after Cleaning and preservation. There were some areas of Gold inlay loss that looked like dirt. There is some brown toning on the blade and it does not come off (Not Rust). This is as far as i am willing to clean it to preserve the age/patina.

I am only presenting what the translation has brought to light. As a non Turkish speaker everything I am saying is my interpretation only.

All I know is that this is one of the finest swords in my collection.

I bought it because it is beautiful and I knew there was an interesting story behind it.

Cheers
Rob
