kgf.
The deprecated unit kilogram-force (kgf, often just kg) or kilopond (kp) is defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity. Although the gravitational pull of the Earth varies as a function of position on earth, it is here defined as exactly 9.80665 m/s². So one kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.80665 newtons.

قوة الكيلوجرام
The unit kilogram-force is the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in standard Earth gravity (9.80665 m/s²). One kilogram-force is equal to exactly 9.80665 Newtons.
القوة المبذولة (قوة) من كيلو جرام واحد (كتلة) في الجاذبية الأرضية
Despite your reservation about the Arabic version of Wikipedia, technically speaking we should use force as قوة not كتلة or ثقل.

Note from asker:
| I am sorry, Shazly, but based on my experience, the Arabic version of Wikipedia is not reliable. The term leads to an entirel different thing anyways. |
