As others have pointed out this is hardly a cygwin question and
there are lots of ways of doing it. However here is one that fits
your sample data (note: it uses egrep and that I've added a couple
of test lines):

#!/bin/sh
egrep '.* *yyyy ' <<'END'
xxxx yyyy zzz
yyyy xxxx zzz
xxxx yyyy zzz
xxxx yyyyf zzz
