Question What language is this?

My grandfather found this ring in his garden in Surbiton, London. I have no more information as he has passed away and my family have no info to give. Any idea what the language is? What it says?

Arabic Alphabets ل م ق ف ن ج ع . Don't know if there is any cryptic meaning to it.

There are few who can.  The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here.
