I do not understand Arabic, but can read the script somewhat and recognize the inscriptions from other examples.

The long ones seem to be the beginning verses of the Surah Al-Fath.

إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًۭا مُّبِينًۭا - Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph (last word is off, somehow, no idea what is up with that)

يَغْفِرَ لَكَ ٱللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ - so that Allah may forgive you for your past and future shortcomings (a bit missing at the end)

The short inscription over the date

يا فتاح - ya Fattah - 'the opener', one of the 99 epithets of God in Islam.

The date is as Norman says.
