Hello.

If you happen to have an Urdu version, there's a nice calligraphic  
font here (you have to uncompress it on Windows):

http://tabish.freeshell.org/u-font/

It should do for Persian as well, but I don't know if that nasta'liq  
style of calligraphy was ever used for Arabic.

If you like, you can test it with the following sample (which I  
copied on the same site):

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\setromanfont{Urdu Nastaliq Unicode}

\begin{document}

Urdu

\begin{verse}
ﺷﺎﻡﹺ ﻏﹷﻢ ﻛﮯ ﺍﺳﹻﻴﺮ ﮨﹷﻴﮟ ﮨﹷﻢ  
ﻟﻮﮒ \\
ﺳﹹﺒﺢﹺ ﻧﹷﻮ ﻛﮯ ﺳﹷﻔﹻﻴﺮ ﮨﹷﻴﮟ  
ﮨﹷﻢ ﻟﻮﮒ
\end{verse}

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Regards,

Yves
