प्रजाः people, अद्य today, दूरे at a distance, निवसन्तम् अपि although living, मानसेन in their minds, अग्रतः in front, स्थितम् staying, त्वाम् you, चिन्तयन्त्यः thinking, निराहाराः without food, कृताः done, नूनम् certainly.

Although living at a distance, the subjects feel in their minds that you are just ahead of them. Today they will certainly go without food, brooding over you.
