The other inscription has "Allah" in it. Someone will have translate the rest.

Very nice.

عمل اوسته احمد صاحب صالح اغا ما شاء الله

کرفتار ایتمه یا رب بو قولوک نار جحیمه

‘amel-i usta ahmed sahib salih ağa

giriftar etme ya rabb bu kuluń nar-i cahime


‘The work of Usta Ahmed, the owner is Salih Ağa.

Subject not, O Lord, this slave of yours to the burning fire of hell.'
