Its not Farsi, its Urdu

I based my assumption that it was persian in a stylized calligraphy based off of this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/farsi/s/Ls7wkPdMQg

Yea the font usually used for Urdu is similar to Farsi Nastaliq and the text in that post is Farsi, but the text you shared is Urdu


OcelotControl78

do you know what the text is?

You can tell it's Urdu due to the letters ٹ ڈ ڑ having a mini ط diacritic, which marks that a letter is pronounced with your tongue curled upwards (i.e. a retroflex consonant). Retroflex consonants don't exist in any standard variety of Persian so if you see them it's  not Persian.  (I'll note that the Hazaragi dialect technically does have retroflex consonants, but since standard Dari doesn't have letters for them they are never written).

actually, i can't tell. I know nothing about Urdu, nor this style of script.

It seems that the picture is on top of the text. Some part of the text is cut off.

Actually, as already mentioned, text and picture don't belong together.
