His life
Habib Antoun Younes was born in the town of Shatin (Tannourine), Batroun District (North Lebanon), on April 10, 1959, the firstborn of his parents, the poet Antoun Younes and Mrs. Laure Tarabay, and he has two brothers, Architect Dr. University Professor Farid Younes, and Immunology researcher Dr. Suhail Younes.
Regarding the beginnings, Yunus said in a press interview:
"If my father wasn’t the poet Antoun Younes, the founder of the Zajal band, I lived it when I was a child, perhaps I would not have been a poet. Then my teachers guided me to language and poetry. But this is not enough, the talent must be supported by self-development by intensifying reading, studying and learning from the experiences of others, to provide new experience instead of starting pointless."
Younes married the journalist and writer, Mireille Kassas, in 1989, and they have a daughter, Lynn, who was born in 1996.

But he was released and his trial lasted for three years, to be issued in the end a ruling to stop the investigations on him.
= Between the colloquial and the eloquent
=Younes said in an interview about eloquent and colloquial poetry:
"I do not find a conflict between colloquial poetry and eloquent poetry. Rather, I see an integration that makes the image of literature more beautiful. The language is developing, and all the languages of the East are descended from a mother language that is commonly called Semitic. There is an advantage in Lebanese colloquial poetry that it is very old, especially in terms of its weights, and that it was on every lip and tongue in our villages and it is an essential element of our culture and our memory. It is poetry that we learn in society. As for eloquent poetry, you do not learn it except in school or university, unless you are one of its lovers and followers. "
He adds:
“I don't think of what language I write when I want to write a poem. There is a key word, or an image or an idea, that takes me to the colloquial or classical, and determines the weight and the rhyme, on its own. If only this talk about the conflict between the two languages ends, in the interest of encouraging Beautiful writing, especially in the age of advanced communication that dropped many barriers between societies, and made the characteristics of each dialect known to everyone. "
