Default Need translation.

Hope some can translate Arabic script on this silver hilted kaskara. An
Arab historian was able to translate one side of blade, but was unable to
read the other side. He also pointed out two small pieces of chain mail on
the sword knot. He said that this represented two recent births in the
owners family. I have no way of knowing weather this is fact or not. Has
anyone ever heard of this practice before? The blade is european, one
single wide fuller running full length of the blade, and the blade is 35 inches
long. This translation was done over 20 years ago and i need a memory
refresher. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.........Dave
