Explanation

The Hindi word 'dukan' (shop) comes from Persian 'dukan'. Persian is called 'Farsi' in Iran and many other places. Persian heavily influenced Hindi during the Mughal period when Persian was the court language. Arabic is different from Persian, though both use similar scripts. Russian and Urdu are unrelated to 'farsi'.
