At the time Sebuktigin conquered the city, Abu Al-Fath was appointed to serve him at his court as an official writer. He maintainted this position under his successor Mahmud. That was the period when most of his official records of the Ghaznavid conquests were made, known as "Kutub al Futuh" (Books of victories), of which only fragments survived.
At the end of his life he experienced many vicissitudes and was exiled to Transoxiana where he died in the city of Bukhara (today part of Uzbekistan).[5]
