Default Jambiya thouma translation wanted

My latest jambiya thouma with a text and figure of a snake engraved on the blade and a mark on the back of the scabbard. E2n of my takouba has a similar snake engraved on it. Strange that a figure appears from two cultures so far apart. I can find no seam on the cut but folds easily and remains crooked. A translation would be most welcome. The decoration on the scabbard is well made but does not appear to me to be silver or low grade perhaps. A green oxidation visible on the metal. Handle amber colored plastic handle. Use marks on handle and scabbard.
regards
Marc

According to the seller, the text on the blade is : we fear no tyrant. According to my son's translation app : every oppressor has an end. So the translations are in the same sphere.
The small mark on the back of the scabbard was not readable by the app. Hopefully someone on the forum who can read it.
Regards
Marc
