Please Help with a Yataghan Inscription

Dom,

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree that the inscription is Turkish, as most inscriptions on yataghans are. It is my understanding that Sufi poems are really hard to translate, due to the complex meaning.

Hopefully Zifir may see this topic and provide a translation, even if literal.

Best regards,
Teodor

hi,
I saw the topic earlier but I thought the language of the script was arabic, probably verses from a surah. But as Dom says it's not, I really have no idea. The script is very densely written and i could not make anything out of it, sorry.
