Translation assistance on Ottoman Yataghan
My guess is that the script is Turkish and was hoping the script is not too decorative for a translation. Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Looks like a religious inscription, judging from the frequent appearance of "Allah". In the square cartouche is "O, 'Ali!"
