The shloka you are referring to is:
दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम्।
सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति॥
Here is a simple explanation of the shloka:
"Drstva imam svajanam Krishna yuyutsu samupasthitam,
siddhanti mama gatraani mukham cha parishusyati."
Meaning: "O Krishna, on seeing these relatives of mine standing here to fight, my limbs fail, and my mouth becomes dry."
This shloka is from the first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, where Arjuna is hesitant to fight in the Kurukshetra war, and Lord Krishna is inspiring him to fulfill his duty as a warrior. In this shloka, Arjuna is expressing his distress and anguish at the sight of his own kith and kin standing on the other side of the battlefield, ready to fight against him. He feels his strength leaving him, and his mouth becoming dry. This shows the emotional turmoil that Arjuna is going through, as he grapples with the moral implications of the war.
