     According to google translate

     the first line says "listen"

     If you remove all of the WAW letters except one or keep all the WAW letters it still translates as "listen"

     If you remove the last letter in the word listen it changes to "name"

     The second line says
     "I can not believe it"

     So I think it means, "llsten, I can not believe it"

     "

     Another function is the "oath"

     "

     WAW can be used in some context to mean an oath if I understand wikipedia correctly

     I think I was wrong about the WAW thing

     WAW connects to the letter to the right of it like in cursive unless there is a exception due to another rule

     But WAW does not connect to the letter to the left of it

     That is why the first WAW when reading from left to right is connected to the letter before it and all the other WAW after that are not

     So the hand writing might be correct

     It is unlikely there is a real word with 10 consecutive WAW letters but it could have a symbolic meaning

     Technically I do not know that they used a arabic keyboard font it could have been drawn some other way but whatever it is I doubt it spells a word and the font is wrong

     Arabic looks like cursive with the letters connected with some exceptions of certain letters that do not connect that way to letters on the left or right side

     On the first line

     There are a long string of WAW

     Reading from right to left

     Not a single WAW has the correct shape for where it should be written in a word relative to the position of other letters

     This would be like a word spelled with 10 of the same consonant in a row which is very unlikely

     The arabic text was written by someone who does not know the rules of writing arabic and simply hit the same letter over and over again on a keyboard arabic font

     I would guess it means something like,

     "Listen, I swear an oath to God that I can not believe it"

     "Listen, I swear to God I can not believe it"

     "Listen, by Allah I can not believe it"

     "Listen, my God, I can not believe it"

     "Oh my God, I can not believe it"

     "Listen, Many a man can not believe it"

     "Listen, I empathetically can not believe it"

     Should have said,
     "emphatically" instead of "empathetically"

     Last post on this thread by me sorry for too many notices
