has anybody heard of the famous urdu poet chirkeen known for his funny sheir o shairy

A poet from Lucknow, he rarely, if ever, used sexual content in his verses. His great love was excreta! Legend has it that, in earlier days, he wrote beautiful 'regular' ghazals, but his bayaaz was stolen by some people who had some of the poems published under their names in Hyderabad and elsewhere. At one mushaaerah in the Deccan capital, unaware of this fraud, he recited a ghazal and was booed by some people who assumed he had stolen the ghazal from one of the books. In anger, he swore never to write a line of verse that any persons would steal and be willing to call their own ... and went on to write hundreds of shayrs, each one containing some scatological term.
He was a great poet, his fav. topic is an issue of debate, but his capability to say it beautifully is undoubted.
Some of his couplets -



Deewan e Chirkeen

thaa giriftaari meiN jo khatra mujhay baydaad ka
kar diya bait ul khala hag hag kay ghar sayyaad ka

Ek naara jab lagaya haidare qarrar ne
bhadbhada ke hag diya laskkare kuffar ne,
or
run meiN chalaai taegh yooN Haidar-e-Karraar nay
Dar kay maaray hag diya lashkar-e-kuffaar nay

dar pe aajaye jo koi pyasa musafir
kardo us ke saamne tum paish aab

Chirkeen ne jo takht pe chirka alag alag
khushboo alag alag thee aur rangat alag alag

baitulkhala se a rahi thi nargis ki khushbuen
shayad koi haseen thi pechish me mubtila
