It's just a matter of font. You see both (and others) used for both Arabic and Farsi (as well as other languages that use the Arabic script).

You usually encounter both in the same books, with one being used as the equivalent of Italics.

It's not Farsi. It's a script commonly used in every language that uses the Arabic script.
