Showing Arabic script inside tcblisting (tcolorbox)

Question

in this MWE

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{listings}
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.3]{Amiri}
\setdefaultlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
\lstset{language=[LaTeX]TeX,
,escapeinside={*}{*}}
\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}
\LaTeX * \textarabic{كلمة عربية}*
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{tcblisting}{listing only,listing options={style=tcblatex,escapeinside={*}{*}}}

\LaTeX  * %\textarabic{كلمة عربية}*
\end{tcblisting}

\end{document}

with lstlisting environment i can show arabic text using listing option escapeinside, But in contrast, with tcblisting if i remove % sign before \textarabic I get an error alert

! Package polyglossia Error: The current roman font does not contain the Arabic

any idea to fix this ?
