Nice sword, shamshir or whatever it is called in other languages

Shamshir in Farsi/Dari literally means sword, so any kind of sword is called a shamshir. This style is usually called Kirj or Kaj, in Afghanistan basically meaning curved. Either way, the blade is Persian, Safavid era (Most likely Shah Sulaiman). I have seen much nicer works of this sword maker being listed at really high prices. Translation for this, the first line is the name of the maker and the rest is a poem in Farsi.
عمل مصری معلم work of Misry Mu'alem (Egyptian Teacher)
the end of the first line is kinda unreadable to me, but I think it is supposed to be خواهی pronounced خاهی so I think that is what it is supposed to be- makes more sense. Also in the second line the second word from last is unreadable to me, it would make sense if there was شوی meaning to become or be.
here is the poem.
بَروزِ رَزم اگر خواهی ---- که بَر دشمَن شوئ غالِب
به تیغِ خود بِکَن نامِ ---- علی ابنِ ابی طالِب
Phonetic English

Ba Rooz e Razm Agar Khaahi ---- Ke Bar Dushman shawi ghaalib
ba taigh e khod bekan Naam e ---- Ali Ibn e Abi Taleb

Trans
On the day of combat if you want ---- to be victorious of the enemy
On your balde engrave the name of ---- Ali son of Abi Taaleb (Abu Taaleb)

yeah I am never this nice
