English Translation

अहम् I, एतन्निमित्तम् for this reason, दीनः am desolate, तत् therefore, वः all of you, न प्रतिपूजये not responded well, मे my, कण्ठः throat, शुष्यतीव च is as though getting parched up, मे my, मनः mind, न स्वस्थम् इव is as though uneasy.

English Commentary

So it is for this reason that I am desolate and cannot respond well to your conversation. It appears as if my throat is getting parched up and my mind is illdisposed.
