Currently, you can't do that unless:
* Use OCP and type1 fonts, the only publicly available font (that I know
  of) is OmegaSerifArabic, which is not that atractive.
* Typeset the plain TeX document with ConTeXt and use ConTeXt's OpenType
  layout capabilities, this will give you much better result but it
  is plain TeX+ not plain any more.

If you sent me a sample Unicode encoded plain TeX file, I'll gladly try
to typeset it either way for you.
