Dear participants of the forum, please help translate the inscriptions on the blade sword.

Looks like an Afgani hilt and guard with Persian wootz.

Yes, it is the Afghan saber with a Persian blade .

I was told that on the blades are written suras from the Koran. But I would like to know which suras (exactly which words are written there).

It is Afghan all the way including the blade, most likely specially ordered for a government official. The inscription claims to be a saying of the Messenger of God, something one of our Arabic speaker can easily translate. The part in gold is Farsi, if you post a better picture I can try to translate it for you.

I don't understand.
I have the feeling that the hilt is regular Afghan pattern
with an English ricasso on the blade,
plus an Arabic engraved inscription COVERED BY
a Persian inscription with gold inlay...pfffffff
Really exiting!!!!

Sorry it took me awhile to get back but as mentioned before school work prevents me from being on here much.
so there are 4 lines, the first is [yaa Allah khair] which basically seeking goodness from God.
The second through the fourth is a poem but I can not make out the 3rd line[ze sosun tura tool] {Your length from Iris (the flower)}
[unintelligible]
[khoon raiz tar] {(roughly meaning)able to she more blood}

great find again, this was made in Kabul sometime within the last 100 years very fine and unique piece.
