Meraj Ahmad Nizami, Bulbul-e-Chisht, normally known as Meraj, is the most senior among the descendants of Tan Ras Khan, the famous nineteenth-century court singer. "Nizami" indicates his attachment to the saint Nizamuddin Auliya, while "Bulbul-e-Chisht" is his honorific title conferred upon him by the late Khwaja Hasan Nizami, who was a famous Sufi sheikh.
