Ottoman Yataghan - Gold Inscription Translation?

Greetings

Recently found this 29.5" Ottoman Yataghan.

I am wondering if the Gold inlaid Inscriptions can be translated? Likely Quran verses, but perhaps something more like a name or date in the roundels.

Google thinks it is Persian / Farsi but it doesn't translate properly.

The sword is in pretty good condition and came with a signed 1919 gouache /watercolour painting of the exact Yataghan on laid paper.

Quite a handsome weapon.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Best Regards
Rob
