छेड़ना, मज़ाक करना, चिढ़ाना


Explanation:
Poking is an action of tapping and/or softly jabbing another person with the tip of one's finger or a sharp object. This is usually done to gain the other's attention. However, it is also commonly used as a form of teasing, joking around with, or irritating him or her; particularly when performed repeatedly. (Source: Wikipedia)
