help with farsi translation
Hi,
Was looking for help to decipher an inscription on a pesh kabz. I believe it is farsi - so if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated! If you can help, let me know and I will send over images directly |

Please post your pictures here as attachments. Requests for translations require a picture also of the entire item as well as the inscription--please see the sticky thread at the top of the Ethnographic Forum page. Ian. |

also, is the inscription from the Quran or in some form related to it/ or the teachings of Islam? it would be interesting to know the direct meaning of this inscription - especially if you have seen it on another one before!

These verses are in Ottoman Turkish, I have seen them on one other piece but I cannot remember where! Here they are copied with mistakes. They compare the dagger’s blade to the shining crescent moon:
“Your dagger is the crescent moon in the sky of the world of compassion, Your dagger is hidden in the blade’s dark-blue clothing.” |

do you happen to know what the inscription might be trying to tell us? is it a verse from the quran or part of islamic ideology? here is a full image...(Reference to items for sale are not permitted in the Discussion Forums--please read the Rules at the top of the Forum Page).
