The type of the Arabic letter used ,  is from the late Ottoman or Othman era.
The whole text is:
The trusting in the owner (refers to God as the owner and king of everything including properties . as all of all ) the poor ( means poor man ) Omar bin Muhammed.
الواثق بالملك الفقير عمر بن محمد

The word poor  and some other words  is used a lot on stamps and signature at that time as poor to God , to express humbling.

In other signatures and stamps , they even used the word "Despicable"  الحقير
