The first kanji should be the one for shishi, wich is lion, so it's pretty clear.
The second is ha, rabbit, right? And then, ku-to is written in hiragana? Could someone explain me the structure of the phrase? Thank you very much!

Where do you even find nice sayings like this in romaji? It's disgusting and it lacks any kind of aesthetic quality.
は doesn't mean "rabbit" and くと isn't a word. What knowledge are these completely false assumptions based on?
It is written
獅子搏兎.
獅子（しし） = lion
搏（はく） = to beat, to smack
兎（と） = rabbit
