Help for translation on Yatagan

Hi,
This is an incomplete inscription. Either the maker's seal was struck on the inscription or the calligrapher was out of space

The inscription on this yatağan is:

Darbından bu bıçağın cümle
İntikam alır aduvvdan sanki

But the complete form of this inscription which I came across in different yatağans is:

Darbından bu bıçağın cümle düşman tar ü mar
İntikam alır aduvvdan sanki misli zülfikar

Which can be roughly translated as:

All the enemies are decimated (destroyed, scattered) from the blow of this knife
It takes revenge from enemies as if it was Ali's (RA) sword zulfikar
