Signification
Someone who wants to hurt you.
Contexte culturel
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.
