How to get the Lat, Long of a clicked location using leaflet Api

I am using OSM with leaflet API. Now I want to get the lat and long of a clicked location. I meant something similar to this:

http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.html

map.events.register("click", map, function(e) {
            var position = map.getLonLatFromPixel(e.xy);
                alert("Lat, Lon : "+position.lon.toFixed(3),position.lat.toFixed(3));

        });

This code in open layers helps to get the lat,long values - looking for something similar using leaflet.

Any help would be really great. Thanks in advance
