Yes, the sources of your application as well as the sources of the
Cygwin DLL, according to the GPL.  If you don't distribute the sources,
you don't apply to the licensing.

Typically it might be better to just distribute your application and
its sources and no Cygwin DLL at all.  Instead point people to the
cygwin web page so that they can download the Cygwin distro as they
see fit.
