Asyik (literally "beloved"/"besotted") is a classical royal court dance popular in Patani[disambiguation needed] and Kelantan. According to Hikayat Patani, the dance was created in 1644 to entertain the grieving Ratu Kuning over the loss of her favorite bird. The dance’s name "the beloved" could have been referring to the lost bird.
