Later, he chooses other areas such as Merv, Balkh, and Khwarezm to live and sing the praises of Sanjar. When Sanjar sent him to carry out a mission to Atsez of Khawarizmshah, he stayed in this city for a while and engaged in Madge Atsez.

Dolatshah Samarqandi says in Tadzkhar al-Shaara about Adib Saber:
This skilled scientist and accomplished writer was also known as a perfect poet and moved from Tirmaz to Merv during Sanjar's reign. The origin of this poet is from Bukhara, but he has found a place in Khorasan. Adib Saber was extremely eloquent and had a smooth and fluent speech so that it was closer in nature to the poems of his peers.
The teacher of the writer Saber Seyyed Ajal is the venerable Abu Jaafar Ali bin Hossein Qudama Mousavi, who is considered the chief of Khorasan by his respect and reverence, Sultan Sanjar Seyyed is introduced as his brother.
This affidavit was composed by Saber in praise of Seyed, and this is some of the odes, and Lalekha says:
My body is captive with love and my heart is redeemed by love
My heart has been redeemed and my eyes did not see the way to escape
You and I are not afraid to spread love and goodness in the name of Lily and Majnoon
Blame of this love and love on Majnoon// Compensation of Hassan and Hassan on Lily
Before you taste the sweetness of honey // God Almighty put healing in honey
In insulting Sultan Seyyed Abu Jaafar as his brother, he composed an ode and says that this verse is from that ode: Lelkha says: Although the best man in the world is a son, he called a great man a father, so that his Sultan calls him a brother.
According to what has been narrated, Adib Saber was very respected by Sultan Sanjar and government officials. When the people of Khwarazmshah had a rebellion with the Sultan in Khwarazm, he secretly sent the Sultan Adib to Khwarazm to constantly investigate his condition and get his news.
Atsez sent a sacrificer to injure and then kill the Sultan on the day of gathering. The face and awe of this person was seen by Adib Saber and finally he drew it on paper and sent it to Merv. That person was found in Merv, and Etsez found out about this work of Saber in Khwarezm, and tied the hands and feet of this writer and threw him in Jihun, which caused his death.
Khondmir says in Habib al-Sir:

In that piece that he wrote about the number of his virtues and this piece is one of his poems:
Devat son is a pest of the government // Tame the fierce government first
What do you want to make a government out of two things?
