He uses Hindi and Awadhi words and avoids Persian and Arabic. This makes his poetry accessible to Indian audiences and explains his success in poetic meets in non-Urdu areas.[4][5]

Munawwar has published numerous ghazals.[6] He has a distinct style of writing. Most of his Shers have Mother as the centre point of his love, much different from other poets.[7]
