Persian or Sudanese dagger

Hello,this is my first post so I hope I am within the rules.I have attached 4 photos of a dagger I bought,the description was a Sudanese dagger with thuluth covering the blade,but when I received it the writing on the blade is different to all the other items I have which are Sudanese,I asked a friend to read the writing on one side of the grip and he said he didn't think it was Arabic although some words were the same as Arabic words,the inscription made no sense.I think its Persian,can anyone confirm or deny this for me
regards
