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
