Morphology

Kabuli = Kabul (transparent) = Kabul + i

The noun meaning 'a person from Kabul' is the expected demonymic derivation from 'Kabul' + '-i', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

A Kabuli comes from the city name Kabul with the Persian ending -i meaning 'from' or 'of', so a Kabuli is simply a person 'from Kabul' or someone connected to the city.
