Help translating oud label?
Greetings,
I was hoping someone here could translate the legible text on the oud label.
I've not seen it before.
Many thanks,
Harry

I'm still learning, but here's my attempt at the first two lines (it gets hard to make out and part is torn anyway after that):
??????? ??? ??????
??????? : ????? ???
al-nejareh wafan al-'asrai
lesahebeha : al-'lem hanan
Admins! Why can't we type Arabic letters on an oud forum?
Here's an screenshot of the same text as above but in openoffice:
I can't type the two dots on top of the heh or the two dots under the yeh because the keyboard layout I use for it is Farsi, not Arabic.
I don't speak Arabic, but according to google translate, this means:
Carpentry and modern art
To its owner: Knowledge is tenderness
So... I guess it's not a name, which may provide limited clues as to origin.

That's right,
But in the name is : al'muallem (mu3alem) Hassan : al-Muallem means the crafter/luthier
The small line under the name: crafting and repair of all the instruments (of Tarab) : ancient, modern and classical instruments
The third line : is the address at Casablanca, Morocco
