Ghazi Khan Mirani (Balochi: ) was son of Haji Khan Mirani, a Baloch chieftain who moved to Multan in the late 15th century at the behest of the Langah Sultanate. He was accompanied by his son, Ghazi Khan Mirani.
The Derajat had its existence as an historical area to the Baloch immigration in the fifteenth century. Sultan Husain, the Langah dynasty's Sultan of Multan, being unable to hold his trans-Indus possessions, called in Baloch mercenaries, and assigned these territories to Haji Khan.
Tomb of Ghazi Khan

The tomb of Ghazi Khan, locally called as handeera in Balochi was built in the beginning of 15th century. This seems like the tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam in Multan. It is located in the Mulla Quaid Shah Graveyard. Its main gate is from eastern side and two small doors are in side of north and south. Every side of the tomb is 13 feet from inside and there are conical minarets from the outside. Its circular distance from the earth is 17.5 feet. The half diameter of the conical minarets remains 34 in on the highest of 19 ft. There are 28 ladders from northern side in the internal side. The graveyard was built up around the tomb of Ghazi Khan. This is the oldest building in the city. The tomb condition is continuously deteriorating and many social activists are raising voice to preserve this heritage.
