Run bash script in cmd with cygwin

I think you mean "command line" and not a "script".
This is not realistically possible. Windows CMD do not have as straightforward
quoting and escaping rules, as you might wish for it to have.
Your only safe bet is to actually write a script and execute it from cmd, when
need.

The association:

FTYPE unixshell.script="%CygwinDir%\bin\env.exe" "%1" %*
ASSOC .sh=unixshell.script

then your find-poo.sh

#! /bin/sh
for file in $(find . -name "*.po")
  do msgfmt -o ${file/.po/.mo} $file
done
