There is no mention of Hazir-o-Nazir in this verse, following is the translation done by Ghamidi Sahab along with its explanation:
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيْرًا. وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَسِرَاجًا مُّنِيْرًا
O Prophet! [you also pay no heed.] We have sent you forth as a witness, a bearer of good tidings, and a warner and as one who shall call men to God by His leave and as a shining lamp [which guides people out from darkness.] [98] (Quran 33:45-46)
(Excerpt from Al-Bayan: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi)
(Translated by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)
_____________________________
[98] This refers to the preaching responsibility of the Prophet Muhammad (sws). It is evident from the Quran that all prophets of God were sent by Him to call people to God and to give glad tidings and to warn them. The Qur’anic words: كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللّهُ النَّبِيِّيْنَ مُبَشِّرِيْنَ وَمُنذِرِيْنَ (213:2) (people were one community; [then they differed with one another;] so, God sent prophets as bearer of glad tidings and deliverer of warnings, (2:213)) also mention this very fact. From among these anbiya’ (prophets), about those who were given the status of rusul (messengers), the Quran says that their indhar (warning) culminated in shahadah. In the terminology of the Quran, shahadah means that the truth is communicated to people in such a manner that no one is left with an excuse to deny it. The Qur’anic words used are: لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللّهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ (165:4) (so that mankind after the coming of these messengers is left with no excuse against the Almighty, (4:165)). The way this shahadah is established is that the Almighty selects these rusul and then, before the actual Day of reward and punishment, rewards and punishes in this very world people to whom the rusul are sent. People are told that if they honour their covenant with God, they will be rewarded in this world and if they dishonour it, they will be punished here. The result of this is that these rusul become signs of God, and it is as if people see God walking along with the rusul who deliver His verdicts. Moreover, these rusul are directed to propagate the truth and deliver to people the exact guidance of God they have received. This is shahadah, and when it is established on this earth, it becomes a basis for God to deliver His Judgement both in this world and in that to come. Consequently, the Almighty grants dominance to these rusul and punishes those who reject them. The word شَاهِدًا (shahidaṇ) used in the above quoted verses of Surah Ahzab delineates this very status of the Prophet Muhammad (sws). Deliberation shows that like خَاتَمَ النَّبِیّنَ has been used very aptly with reference to the occasion and context.
