[Intro]
Coffee steam, lunchtime glow, a bell above the tray — click, tick, slow.
Badge that reads a name I don't yet know, a heartbeat skips, the clock says go.
(Soft ad‑lib: "Achanak mili tu")
[Verse 1]
Hum of trays, midday light, coffee steam on a porcelain rim,
One glance, one shy hello — the world around the edges dim.
Clatter fits a rhythm, shoes on tile, cafeteria clock at two,
You laugh, a small warm sound — my day rearranges into you.
(Sensory tag: steam on my mug, sunlight on your hair)
[Pre‑Chorus]
Unexpected smile, sudden friend, a spark that won't erase,
Casual words become a map — a new place, a steady pace.
Short lines, longer days, we trade small stories, laugh and spar,
A memory like a sweet chai steam — beginning where we are.
[Chorus]
Cafeteria encounter — we paused, we stayed,
One cup, two smiles — a friendship made.
Shared jokes, quick confessions, a laugh that lingers on my heart,
Cafeteria encounter — hum chamke zara
[Verse 2]
You tell a kawar yatra tale, thunder drums and dusty road,
I hear Haryanvi echoes — "ghanna mast" slips in your code.
Badge and tote bag, lipstick mark, the poster on the wall,
The room shrinks to our corner, the midday noise becomes our call.
(Specific: the cafeteria clock reads one‑two‑three, steam fogs the glass)
[Pre‑Chorus — Variation]
We swap small dreams and bigger plans, the future framed in light,
From coffee sips to secret grins, the noon feels soft and right.
Warmth of your voice — a gentle drum — I follow where it goes,
Stranger hands become a tether; in your smile a hush that grows.
[Chorus]
Cafeteria encounter — we paused, we stayed,
One cup, two smiles — a friendship made.
Shared jokes, quick confessions, a laugh that lingers on my heart,
Cafeteria encounter — hum chamke zara
[Bridge]
(Quiet, half‑spoken)
If this is only a minute, let it sit like sun on a pane,
If this is something starting, teach me your stories, share your name.
I will learn the rhythm of your steps, the small fears you won't admit,
If it's a seed or something larger, let me hold it — just a bit.
(Confession line) If it's brief, be a beautiful memory; if it's more, let's not quit.
[Build]
Clap soft, voices weave, a rising hum — we lean in close,
Ad‑libs float: "oye!" "ghanna mast!" — the corner grows and grows.
Hands almost touch the coffee rim, the clock counts down, then smiles,
We keep the moment in our pockets, walking new and friendly miles.
[Final Chorus — Big]
Cafeteria encounter — we paused, we stayed,
One cup, two smiles — a friendship made.
Shared jokes, quick confessions, a laugh that lingers on my heart,
Cafeteria encounter — hum chamke zara
(repeat and fade with ad‑libs: "hum chamke!" "oye!" "Achanak mili tu")
[Outro]
So here's to chance and midday light, the badge, the steam, the song,
To kawar yatra memories and a laugh that pulls me along.
A new friend born by coffee steam — small magic, not bizarre,
I keep the bell and corner in my chest — Cafeteria spark, hum chamke zara.
