English Translation

अनृतैः untrue, सान्त्वै: with pleasing words, माम् me, बहु greatly, सान्त्वयन्ती while you are appeasing, भाषसे स्म used to speak, लुब्धः hunter, गीतशब्देन sound of music, संरुध्य having trapped, मृगम् इव like a deer, अवधीः killed (me).

English Commentary

You used to console me with so many words pleasing but untrue and you killed me like a hunter getting the deer trapped and slaughtered through the melody of music.
