He had mastered all sciences of his time, and he also wrote some books about alchemy, such as Jame-ol-asrar, Trakib-ol-anvar, and Masabih-ol-hekmat va Mafatih-ol-rahmat, Haghaegh-ol-esteshhadat, Zat-ol-faraed, and Alrad Ali-ebn-e-sina fi Ebtal-el-kimia.
He also participated in political works and became the minister of Masoud-ebn-Mohamad Malek Shah.
Togharayi wrote a book of poems, the best known of which is Lamiyat al-Ajam. Togharayi wrote Lamiyyat al-Ajam as a response to the celebrated pre-Islamic poem Lāmiyyāt al-‘Arab. Lamiyyat al-Ajam was later the subject of an encyclopedic 14th-century commentary by Al-Safadi, entitled Al-Ghayth al-Musajam fi Sharh Lamiyyat-Ajam.
Togharayi was ultimately accused of atheism, and executed in 1105 A.D.
