Default top inscription is Arabic

The inscription in the upper (first) image in this thread reads:

"Help from God and victory near"

It is part of a verse from the Qur'an, the rest of it (not illustrated here so I do not know if actually appears on the object in question) is:

"Bring the glad tidings to the believers".

I don't recognize the language of the lower inscription, although it uses the Arabic alphabet. Above it is a date.
