Don't know if this is distro-specific but archlinux installs a script
named 'dmenu_run' which does what you want and accept the same option
that dmenu does.
So you're command will be :
awful.util.spawn('dmenu_run -i -nb "#000000" -fn
"-*-times-*-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" -sb "#00ff00" -sf "#af0000" -nf "#ff0000"
-p "Execute:" -b')
