variable interpolation in bash alias

This command is used to set the title of my console in bash shell

    printf "\033]0;  my_console_title \007";

But I want use this command with alias and should accept the console title from user
(having trouble with setting printf to alias variable).

Something similar to :

alias fx="find . -type f | xargs grep -il $1"

Usage: fx "search_text"

Have you tried something like this:

alias title='printf "\033];0%s\007"'

BTW, on URXVT your line does not work.
