"Ia" doesn't really mean anything. It's an exaltation, an expression of praise.

Cthulhu is the name of a horrible beast god thing under the sea.

"fhtagn" means "sleeps".

So roughly, "Praise be, praise be! Cthulhu sleeps!"

It's from H.P. Lovecraft's 'Cthulhu Mythos', the essential work in early modern horror.
