This one (above) depicting Mary and Jesus. Most of verses written around the carpet are unreadable, here is one that I was able to read:

این نداند اینکه اهل خاطرست
آفاق غایب و او حاضر است

Generally, it is some religious poem related to Mary and Jesus.

The verse written reads as:

Sarbana Bar Bogsha Ze Shotoran
Shahr -e Tabriz Ast O Kooye Delestan

ساربانا بار بگشا ز شتران
شهر تبریز است و کوی دلستان

O Caravan Master, Unload the Camels,
(Cuz) it's the City of Tabriz, House of beloved

This Carpet has some poems about Muzaffar-e-dinn Shah Qajar. The Verse under the animals reads as:

Dar Dowlat -e Shah Muzaffar-e-dinn
Begreft Zamaneh Rang O Aieen

در دولت شه مظفرالدین
زمانه بگرفت رنگ و آیین

At the days of Muzaffar-e-dinn Shah,
A new era has began.
