Excellent aquisition! I believe it may be wootz. If I were you, would try to etch it.

The correct translation of the inscription is AMAL- E- MOHAMMAD HADI (Made by Mohammad Hadi). There is a dagger by the same blacksmith in the collection of Harvard College (See attached images). Congrats Mahratt this is a good find!

Muhammad Haadi is correct as stated here, the earlier translation (nadi) is wrong.
