Italian is what it seems like. Although, some of the vowels are mixed up. but rough translation That the Baha'i lodi in Turkish. Otherwise its just a guy trying to mess with you

It's Hindi-- I'm startled by the conjecture that it's Italian. Note that the phrase would be the same in Urdu.
बहन (bahan) means sister, while the post-position की (ki) is generally used to signal possession of a grammatically feminine relative, house, or body part. I don't know exactly what "lodi" is, but I suspect it's a variant of a slang term for the male genitalia (Urdu contains words like this that are very similar to "lodi").
Ehm-- I don't want to explain it too extensively, but there are feminine variants of this word. And it's not uncommon in Hindi and Urdu to hear a phrase like "your sister's [lodi]."
In any event, it's quite rude.
