The image is a front view, bust length portrait of Shobha (Suraiya). She is dressed in a white draped upper garment and her head is covered with a veil. She also has a dark lipstick and a bindi on her face. The expression on her face is neutral.

The credits are printed towards the bottom right corner on a customised shape. The top left corner of the shape has the Minerva Movies logo, followed by text that reads 'A Minerva PRODUCTION'. Below that is the name of the film, 'WARIS', written in English, Devanagari, and Urdu (from top to bottom). On the right half is an illustration of a young boy, whose right arm is raised, sitting on the back of a man who is on all fours.
