Mall road is English wala shopping Mall. Mall Road Murree was not open for locals during British era.

Shah Iran was embarassed as Persian in Pakistan was of from Bostan and Gulistan era and in between lots of changes have taken place in the language. Probably, he had said that Pakistan’s Persian is limited to the extent as was learnt by Humayon during his exile

^Yes, this. My husband has a Pakistani friend that speaks Dari and I’ve noticed that the manner in which he (and other people I’ve met) speak Dari is quite different from contemporary Dari. It sounds rather formal and a bit old fashioned. Is the Persian taught in Pakistan taught for practical purposes or more for understand Persian poetry and the like?
