Here is a more minimal test:

\definefontfeature [persian] [arabic] % [...]

\mainlanguage[pe]

\starttext

     \definedfont[arial*persian]

     \setupalign[r2l]

     این یک آزمایش است.

     \setupalign[l2r]

     This is a test.

\stoptext

If that works, you can try the simplefonts variant. Keep in mind that 
you need to end a paragraph with an empty line or \par because otherwise 
the last settings apply.
