If you mean 'a hawk's eye' literally the phrase would be 鷹の目 /ta ka no me/ in Japanese. If you are referring to the stones, tiger's eye and hawk's eye in Japanese have both derived their names from English:

タイガーズアイ /tai gaa zu ai/ (Tiger's Eye)

and

ホークスアイ /hoo ku su ai/ (Hawk's Eye).

[oo = elongated' o' sound]

According to the Japanese Wikipedia, in Japanese they can also be called 虎目石 (torameishi) and 鷹目石 (takameishi). 目 /me/ (like in Melborn) is the kanji for 'eye' and 石 /i shi/ is the kanji for 'stone, gem'; and 虎 /to ra/ and 鷹 /ta ka/ are in order the kanji for 'tiger' and 'hawk'. Similar to "cat'e eye" which is a common name for Cymophane and in Japanese is called 猫目石 /nekomeishi/, 'neko' being Japanese for cat.
