In Punjabi or Urdu you can 'Pilaa' someone a liquid. There isn't an English equivalent as far as I know.

Nahi. Not exactly.
It doesn't mean destroyed exactly.
For example: You have a dinner date with a beautiful girl in the evening and you give clothes at your local laundry in the morning. On returning to the laundry an hour before the date to collect your clothes, you find that the colour of the other clothes has come on to your white shirt. Thats when you tell the person in charge- "aap ne meri is shyaam ka satayanash kar diya"
It means spoiling something that was flourishing otherwise.
Maybe someone else can explain better.

To compel or compulsion is the closest I could find but nothing hits you in the goonies like "Majboori" does. Nothing has the same degree of desperation, morbidity or anguish as the Urdu word. Love it!
