You wil need to use a font that has support for reading those characters.

The freetype font libary that is used with label is probably not the best library for Arabic fonts. I would advise you to use pango instead:

string test = "حقوق";
string caption = $"pango:{test}";
var readSettings = new MagickReadSettings()
{
    Font = "Times New Roman",
};

using (MagickImage watermark = new MagickImage(caption, readSettings))
