Bedeutung
Someone who wants to hurt you.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In rural areas, 'Khoon ka pyasa' is often linked to land disputes which can last for generations. Poets use this to describe the 'cruel beloved' (mashooq) who 'kills' the lover with their indifference. A classic line for a villain is 'میں تمہارے خون سے اپنی پیاس بجھاؤں گا' (I will quench my thirst with your blood). Used in 'cancel culture' contexts where people say the internet is 'out for blood' after a scandal.
Gender Agreement
Always check if you are talking about a man (pyasa) or a woman (pyasi). This is the most common mistake for learners.
Too Dramatic?
Be careful! Using this for small things might make you sound like you are in a 1980s soap opera.

Use with 'Peeche parna'
Combine it with 'Woh mere peeche para hai' to sound more native. 'Woh میرے پیچھے پڑا ہے جیسے میرے خون کا پیاسا ہو۔'
