English Translation

अद्य now, भरतः Bharata, अकण्टकम् without any thorns(rivals), यौवराज्यम् as princeregent, भजताम् let him enjoy, एषः this, मे my, परमः great, कामः desire, दत्तं वरमेव already granted boon, वृणे I am asking for, अद्य चैव now itself, वनम् to the forest, प्रयान्तं departing to the forest, राघवम् to the scion of the Raghus (Rama), पश्येयम् I shall see.

English Commentary

Let Bharata be princeregent without any rivals. This is my great desire. I am asking for an already granted boon. Let me see Rama's departure to the forest today itself.
