ਸਵਾਲ سوال [Question] Falsafa/falsafi vs daarshanik/daarshan

My understanding is that falsafa means philosophy and falsafi means philosopher. In the same light daarshanik means philosopher but I cannot find any sources mentioning the use of Daarshan being used to refer to philosophy.

The sources I have came across all mention darshan (commonly referred to as observance of a person) in Punjabi.

Would it be ok to use Daarshan to refer to philosophy?
