Indian Rafales are not an immediate concern for Pakistan. The jet replacing the MiG-21s at forward bases along the India-Pakistan border is the Tejas MK1A. Tejas is most likely to be the first to engage, whether by dropping bombs on Pakistan at short notice or by attacking any Pakistani fighter jets or AWACS. While Rafales are important, they are not as pivotal as the Tejas in the context of India-Pakistan air skirmishes.
Your Tejas at best will be doing point defence role. I dont think IAF is stupid enough to present them as target practice for PAF armed with PL15, Sd10s and AMRAAMS. PAF has already shotdown SU30mki and very confident to deal with it if such situation arise in future. The only aircraft PAF is honing its tactics and strategies is Rafael. That's where j10 or JF17 blk 3 will come into play.
